Hilfe | Friendica: Beiträge mit fehlenden Bildern

Ich bekomme öfters Beiträge in denen etwas fehlt, ja die Bilder. Ich hatte eben mit @Matthias ✔ darüber und schreibe deshalb jetzt mal hier. Als Beispiel nehme ich den Beitrag über welchen wir es gerade hatten. Dieser Beitrag kam bei mir im Stream/Timeline Weitergesagt an:

Wenn ich den Beitrag inline aufrufe sieht er so aus:

Und wenn ich den Beitrag direkt auf dem Ursprungsserver aufrufe so:

Das es der VPN ist, konnten wir schon mal ausschließen. Der ist gerade nicht aktiv. Aber evtl. ist es ja ein kleiner Haken in den Einstellungen den ich nicht gesetzt oder entfernt habe.

Hat einer von Euch eine Idee wo das Problem liegen könnte?

Danke für Eure Hilfe und Tipps im Voraus!

Frage | Friendica: Wie sicher ist die Sache mit dem Standardstandort?

Ich habe bei einen Account bei welchen beim Standardstandort folgendes eingestellt ist:

Sehe ich mir dann jedoch einen Beitrag von diesen Account auf einen anderen Account an, so kommt als Standort folgendes:

Ich wohne zwar nicht an beschriebener Adresse, aber trotzdem würde es mich interessieren warum bei dem Beitrag nicht so wie eingestellt einfach 'Heidelberg' angegeben ist. Liegt es daran das ich bei den Kontenarten 'Organisationsseite' eingestellt habe?

Als Friendica Version läuft auf dem Server auf welchen der Beitrag erstellt wurde stable (Version: 2023.05 Datenbankversion: 1518/1518 Post-Update-Version: 1507/1507).

Danke für Eure Hilfe und Ideen im Voraus

We have a umlaut (and French letters) problem in #Friendica.

I have no time to check/open an issue. Can someone check I they can reproduce and then open an issue?

Also in der #friendica 2023-09RC scheint sich hier noch ein Bug eingeschlichen zu haben.
Ich verwende da #FireFox auf #Linux Basis.

Kann das jemand bestätigen?

!Friendica Support Dear fellow #friendica people. There is an ongoing effort to improve the UI showing posts in #frio.

Please answer the following question(s):

1. Have you ever used the checkbox on the very right?
2. If you have previously used that checkbox, can you share your use-case?

This question came up during some recent work on improving the post UI. For desktop the action icon description is gone resulting in a less busy / cleaner UI. Another change being worked on is, to move interaction counters next to the action icon instead of showing them in a second row below.

Preparing to move the DB

Changing the #storage backend to reduce DB size.

Admin panel:

Helpers-page information

Moving storage via SSH

¿correct?:

mkdir /var/www/html/storage
./bin/console config storage.name = Filesystem
./bin/console config storage.filesystem_path = storage
./bin/console storage move

@Raroun

Hm. Zwischengespeicherte Bilder sollten doch im Dateisystem landen, oder werden die nicht als jpg o.ä. sondern nur binär in der Datenbank gespeichert?

Es ist jedenfalls schon krass, dass ein sql.gz #Datenbank #Dump von meiner wenige Tage alten Single User #Friendica Instanz gestern Abend schon ~ 300 MB groß war.

Rechne ich das auf 90 Tage hoch, werden das ~ 10 GB.

Dabei ist der Speicherplatz wohl weniger das Problem als die Performance bei einer so fetten Datenbank.

Der Dump einer Nextcloud mit über 100 Nutzern, sehr vielen synchronisieren Dateien, Group Folder und intensiver Kalender- und Adressbuch-Nutzung ist nach Jahren gerade mal ~ 35 MB groß.

Wenn ich in #Friendica auf das Häuschen also mein Profil klicke und meine Beiträge ansehe, dann habe ich eine komische Ansicht.
Oben siehts noch normal aus und weiter unten überlappen die Beiträge die Fenster-Breite.
Die oberen Beiträge die normal angezeigt werden, kann ich nicht anklicken, bearbeiten usw. Bei den unteren Beiträgen die so komisch angezeigt werden, ist das möglich.
Getestet habe ich das unter Mull Android,

Firefox Android, Firefox Linux, Librewolf, und Ungoogled Chromium. Überall dasselbe Spielchen.

@Friendica Support

Hi,
I'm working on my first #friendica #VPS installation, here you'll find my initial post about general thoughts like what distro to use, size and costs.
I'm using the tutorial "creating a friendica server - ubuntu" by @Hank G ☑️.

As of now I'm doing well in the process and want to start this post to document differences and questions while installing the server.

This server is going to host an already existing friendica node I have to move from another hosting provider. That means that for example the DB doesn't have to be created from scratch but moved and other smaller details.

I will try to address the different steps of installation in answers to this post and appreciate help, ideas and observations.

I'm doing this from a #linux desktop environment from the console but there shouldn't be differences if you want to do this from a #windows machine.

#fediVerse #tutorial #fediHelp #activityPub

Hey @helpers or any helpful #Friendica users. I'm trying to understand the difference between Categories and Hashtags.

From what I'm seeing, categories never leave the server, but hashtags do get federated out. They kind of look the same in the timeline, with hashtags having a lightning bolt, and categories being green with "X's" that allow you to remove them.

So why choose one over the other? Or why combine them?

Thanks!

Ich fände es gut wenn man #Kalender Einträge bei #Friendica importieren könnte.
Habe hierzu ein Issue gefunden. Da gibts aber nichts neues.

Oder sollte man für Kalender sowieso eher sowas wie #Mobilizon verwenden?

Frage | Friendica: Federiert Friendica schneller zu Diaspora als zu ActivityPub?

Kann es sein das von Friendica aus die Federierung zu und von Diaspora wesentlich schneller als zu und von ActivityPub ist? Ich hatte jetzt schon mehrmals den Fall das ich auf Diaspora nach kürzester Zeit Reaktionen auf meine Beiträge bekam, während Reaktionen von anderen via ActivityPub verbundenen Servern erst ein gutes Stück später Reaktionen eintrödelten.

Hilfe | Friendica: Was bringt einem eine Suche mit solchen Ergebnissen?

Eben habe ich nach dem Hashtag #Heidelberg gesucht und bekam dieses Ergebnis (Ausschnitt). Sprich die selben paar Suchergebnisse wurden immer wieder wiederholt. Und ich glaube bzw. um genau zu sein weiß ich es, dass das eben nicht im Geringsten alle Beiträge sind die mit #Heidelberg getaggt sind. Allein ich habe weitaus mehr Beiträge mit entsprechenden Hashtag geschrieben. Die Frage die sich mir stellt ist was eine solche Suchfunktion bringt? Vielleicht ist es ja auch einfach nur ein Bug?

Hello !Friendica Support ..

When I search for a diaspora post (nerdpol.ch/posts/5a158090e8650…) on my #friendica instance, i get a Not Found - error message (with the diaspora post long link) or no result. (with the shorter link) ( nerdpol.ch/posts/11968677)

Hallo !Friendica Support,

wie ich gerade festgestellt habe, taucht mein Server in der Statistik auf Fediverse Observer als englischsprachig auf. Allerdings habe ich sowohl im Admin-Panel als auch in der local.config.php die Sprache auf Deutsch gestellt. Muss ich da sonst noch irgendwo etwas angeben? So wichtig ist es mir ja nicht, das es meist kein offener Server ist, aber eigenartig finde ich es schon.

Wenn Du dazuschreibst auf welcher Plattform, wird es leichter mit der Hilfe. Von #Mastodon aus kann niemand erkennen, das Du #Friendica meinst ^^

^GitHub

I keep seeing lots of people who are totally giddy about the #Fediverse, who are gushing over it, who want to promote it, who want it to spread.

And who want it to advance. To learn new abilities. To grow new features.

That's all fine and dandy.

But almost all of these people are still fully convinced that the Fediverse equals #Mastodon. And nothing else. At least not until Tumblr and P92 join the fray. Okay, maybe the #WordPress plug-in that's the talk of the town now that it has become official. Okay, maybe a few of them have also heard of #Pixelfed and/or #PeerTube because their makers are all over the Fediverse.

When these people are talking about the Fediverse, they mean Mastodon. And when they're thinking about the Fediverse, they're only thinking about Mastodon. Because that's all they know.

So these people want new cool features or even new cool use-cases in the Fediverse, stuff that Mastodon doesn't have. They want Mastodon to have it, or they want new projects to be launched that have these features.

If only they knew.

If only they knew that everything, literally everything they propose has already been done. Yes, in the Fediverse. In projects which are fully federated with Mastodon. Why don't they know? Because they've never heard of any of these projects, much less what they can do.

So they want "quote-tweets" in the Fediverse. Which means they want Mastodon to introduce them.

Tell you what: Mastodon is the only microblogging project in the Fediverse that doesn't have quotes. Not only will Eugen Rochko never introduce them, but all the other projects have them with Mastodon forks #GlitchSoc such as being the exception. #Pleroma has them. #Akkoma has them. #MissKey has them. #CalcKey has them. #FoundKey has them. #GoToSocial has them. The old heavyweights #Friendica and #Hubzilla have them, and so does Hubzilla's youngest decendant, the #Streams project. Et cetera.

You want "quote-tweets"? Switch to something that isn't Mastodon, and you've got "quote-tweets".

Or text formatting in posts like bold type, italics, underline, strikethrough, code blocks etc. Would be great if Mastodon had that, in spite of other people saying they don't want it.

Again: Pleroma already has it. Akkoma already has it. MissKey already has it. CalcKey already has it. FoundKey already hasit. GoToSocial already has it. Friendica already has it. Hubzilla already has it (look at this post at its source in a Web browser and weep). (streams) already has it. And so forth. This time, even Mastodon forks have it.

It has been done. It has been done many times. It has actually been done before Mastodon.

Next, long-form blog posting. We need something like #Medium in the Fediverse that isn't Medium itself. Mastodon's 500 characters are too few, and Twitter-like threads are inconvenient.

Except we already have that, too. #Plume and #WriteFreely are about as close to Medium as Mastodon is to Twitter, including clean and distraction-less layouts. Oh, and Hubzilla can do that, too.

By the way: Again, Mastodon is the only Fediverse project that can do microblogging that has a 500-character limit. Pleroma, Mastodon's oldest direct competitor, raised it to a default of 6,000. MissKey and its forks have 3,000 as a default. Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams) have character limits of "go ahead, drop your short story in one post in its entirety," so virtually none at all. And yes, Hubzilla has long-form writing on top of that.

Speaking of Hubzilla: Most recently, there has been the idea to uncouple one's online identity from a specific instance. Your online self should no longer be firmly tied to any one server exclusively. Now, this sounds so ambitious, it might just as well be science-fiction.

What if I told you that just this very thing already exists as well?

No, really. No, I'm not making this up. But you should know by now that I'm not.

Better yet: It was conceived as early as 2011. By the guy who launched Friendica in 2010. He invented a new principle named #NomadicIdentity and a new protocol named #Zot. In its early stages already, even with no technical implementation yet, Zot was more powerful than ActivityPub is today.

In 2012, Zot became reality as the basis of a Friendica fork which later became known as #RedMatrix and, upon its 1.0 stable release in late 2015, which is still prior to Mastodon's initial release, Hubzilla. Hubzilla is still being developed and improved, and it has a fledgling but growing "successor of a successor" named (streams) which offers nomadic identity, too.

Now, what does this nomadic identity even look like? Well, not only does it let you move your channel(s) around from instance to instance with ease and, unlike on Mastodon, with absolutely everything on it. No, it also lets you have your channel on multiple instances at once. Identical clones, automagically kept in sync in real-time, all with the same identity, the same content, the same connections.

Your identity is no longer strapped down to one instance. Not only that, but your channel, your posts, your content is no longer hosted on only one server. This means that if one instance with one of your clones goes down, you still have spares.

Okay, so how about community groups/forums? That'd be cool.

Well, for one, there's #Guppe. It's basically bolted on Mastodon, and in practice, it's centralised because there's only one instance. But it's impractical to use.

Besides, this is becoming a running gag here, Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams) have exactly this built-in and open for the rest of the Fediverse.

Better yet: There's also #Lemmy which amounts to a federated #Reddit or #HackerNews clone. So not only does Lemmy offer this, it specialises in it.

Hubzilla alone can provide Fediverse feature suggestions with "has been done" for years to come. Not to mention what else the Fediverse has to offer. Even if someone should want a free, non-commercial, decentralised, federated #GoodReads clone in the Fediverse, it has been done: #BookWyrm.

Yes #itWorksLikeEmail but still I really don't understand how #friendica works. For example on this thread libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-1… the original post was sent to 103 remote servers, my friend digit@iviv.hu commented on it. My response to his comment was sent to 24 servers, but my response to my own comment was sent to 105 servers. I suspect him being on Diaspora* and most of my contacts being on platforms like #Mastodon than only support #ActivityPub has an influence here.

If I try to reference the same post from my Masto account, I thought it would look super weird, like I was talking to myself in a way that didn't make any sense, but I actually only see the OP https://hostux.social/@fu@libranet.de/109835482564374801 while when I search for my later comment I see it libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-2… and the comment of my own I was replying to, but not the OP !Friendica Support

@Signor Amministratore My experience has been somewhat different. The reliability of #guppe does not seem constant to me. Sometimes it dropped out or a post was only shared hours later.
With a #Friendica #forum, on the other hand, I have observed a relatively constant latency of a few seconds to 1-2 minutes.
Perhaps @Μαθθίας/ξ ✔ can contribute something more competent.

In addition, a forum also offers a relatively well-structured presentation, while guppe is just a pure distribution list.

Hello !Friendica Support
I need to ask again, I did some weeks ago and hoped this problem would be fixed in the meantime.

How can I delete the deleted accounts? This looks like a data protection nightmare!

In the top you see there are 46 Deleted accounts.

Which are awaiting deletion.

Many should have been deleted months or weeks ago.

So why is this not happening?

Moment mal der Beitrag war nicht von mir sondern von @𝗝𝗮𝗸𝗼𝗯 :𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮: 🇦🇹 ✅

Ich habe nur meine Meinung dazu geschrieben nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Meinetwegen können die hier auf #friendica machen was sie wollen - ich nutze es so wie es ist und wenn ich der Meinung bin das mir das nicht mehr gefällt dann suche ich mir etwas anderes oder baue mir meine eigene Oberfläche dazu fertig, denn der Core ist recht gut gemacht.

Also du sprichst hier den falschen an - das mit Git ist auch nur meine Persönliche Meinung dazu und wenn die Jungs und Mädels und was sonst noch meinen die wollen auf Github bei Microsoft bleiben dann sollen sie das gerne tun - das ist mir einerlei - ich nutze (aber das ist meine Entscheidung) diese Plattform eben nicht mehr.

Also nochmal - der Threat kam von @𝗝𝗮𝗸𝗼𝗯 :𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮: 🇦🇹 ✅ - also mußt du den dazu ans Bein treten und nicht mich.

But this shouldn't effect the usage of a multi-platform client with e.g. #Friendica.

But of course, it could have an impact on the future development of such clients.

Seriously, #friendica starts to annoy me. I get random posts on my time-line.

Example included. I do not follow this account or interact with. And my network is small, for testing/evaluation purpose. They did not interact with this account either. Why do I see this?
