Can't publish public when mentioning forum pages


@Friendica Support
Hi there,
not sure if this is a bug or just that I'm missing some idea/rule functionality.

#bugResearch

Platform Info: 2023.05 - stable | VIER | firefoxFriendica Version: 2023.05 - stable
Theme: VIER
Browser: firefox
Friendica Source: gitHub
PHP version: 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14
SQL version: MySQL / MariaDB
memory_limit 256M
4 Core CPU, 8 GB Ram with 300GB NVME Disk

I didn't have a look at gitHub

Short bug description:When I try to publish publicly a post addressing two forum pages of this server, gimped and tutorial (tutorial is an account created with this profile), I get a restricted post and I don't understand why.

Details of the buggy behavior:I publish the post as public but it gets displayed as private, only visible for the forum page gimped that actually figures twice in the information card of the lock icon.
Also, I can't pin the post to my profile.

See image gif in screenshots spoiler

¿Possible to reproduce, if so how:This is the code of the post, it happens every time I try:
(somehow friendica alters the tags in this code)
#newHere #neuHier #hola

[img=https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/1024/480767]Gif scene of the movie "The Martian".

The lonely main actor is sitting on a stone on the inhabited planet he was left on alone.
A text reads:
"First day in the diaspora of the fediVerse .."

The astronaut is depicted how he opens the solar panels of his equipment, presses a big button on it and the hashtags #hola, #neuHier and #newHere appear.

In the last scene he sits again on his stone and the text: ".. wait .." is displayed.

In the first scene that reads the text about the first day in the fediVerse the probably oldest logo of the fediVerse is displayed at the bottom left of the scene. At the horizon on the right the actual logo of the the fediVerse rises behind the landscape.

In the last scene, while our hero is awaiting the outcome of his intent to make contact with the outside world, the old Federated Social Web logo appears in front of the sun.[/img]

Expected result:¿what should be the correct behavior?
¿what did you expect?
Being posted public, shared by the forum pages publicly and being able to pin it to my profile.

**Wo bleiben die Universitäten im Fediverse?**

Warum betreiben Universitäten nicht schon längst eigene Mastodon-Instanzen?

Warum bekommen Studierende nicht mit der Immatrikulation auch einen Mastodon-Handle?

Warum hosten Universitäten Vorlesungsvideos nicht über PeerTube im Fediverse?

Es gibt einiges, das für ein stärkeres Engagement von Universitäten im Fediverse spricht.

The crosshair icon in #Fedilab may be the most unknown feature, what do you think? It completely changed my perception of the size of #fediverse / #mastodon
Look at this example (screenshot), on the first one it looks like the post had only minimal reach, after pressing the crosshair icon all the data is fetched from all fediverse servers (which can take 1-3 seconds), also the discussion below the original post is much larger 😮

/help/Settings#File+storage+backendFile upload
File storage backend
Set the backend used by #Friendica to store uploaded file data. Two storage backends are available with Friendica:
Database : Data is stored in a dedicated table in database (storage)
Filesystem : Data is stored as file on the filesystem.
Default value is 'Database (legacy)': it's the legacy way used to store data directly in database.
Existing data can be moved to the current active backend using the 'storage move' console command
If selected backend has configurable options, new fields are shown here.
Filesystem: Storage base path
The base path where Filesystem storage backend saves data.
For maximum security, this path should be outside the folder tree served by the web server: this way files can't be downloaded bypassing the privacy checks.
Default value is storage, that is the storage folder in Friendica code root folder.
Maximum Image Size
Maximum size in bytes of uploaded images. The default is set to 0, which means no limits.

There are two ways to add your keys to #FileZilla.

You can add your keys inside the "Site Manager":

Go to:
File -> Site manager ..

Screen of FileZilla showing where to find the option

Protocol:
In the settings panel for a given site select sFTP:
Screen of FileZilla showing where to find the option

Add domain IP or domain name:
Screen of FileZilla showing where to find the option

Logon Type:
Select "Key File"
Screen of FileZilla showing where to find the option

Add the user name to log onto the server:
Screen of FileZilla showing where to find the option

Browse for the .ppk you want to add and select it:
FileZilla offers you also to add .pem (privkey.pem) files, that's the #puTTy option for a file containing only the extracted private key of keyfile.ppk. At the same time FileZilla doesn't read/accept .pem files so it will prompt you to transform it into a .ppk file. If your .ppk is protected by a password (it should be), you get prompted to insert the password.
It is not clear if the newly created .ppk file from the .pem file by FileZilla is protected with the same password. It doesn't feel like that.
Screen of fileZilla showing where to find the option Screen of fileZilla showing where to find the option

Save the changes and connect to your server.


The other option to add your key to FileZilla is by adding it directly to the main settings.

Go to:
Edit-> Settings ..

Screen of FileZilla showing where to find the option

Choose SFTP and select the "Add key file" tab:
Screen of FileZilla showing where to find the option

Add the key file and save.
If you use the input fields and quick connect options of the main FileZilla window, the keys saved in settings will be retrieved.

#linux #windows #howTo #fediVerse


The best future proof Solution would be, use YouTube less and at some Point don't use it at all anymore.

Make use of other Platforms that are free from Corporate greed, like PeerTube or similar.

Urge your favorite Creators to take Action and also use/upload elsewhere.

That would be the first Step on a longer Journey of freeing the Internet from greedy Companies. 😉

friendica VPS setup on ubuntu 22.04 LTS


@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.

Integrujte WordPress nejen s Mastodonem

Tento týden společnost Automattic oznámila dostupnost pluginu ActivityPub na Wordpress.com. Tento plugin si ale můžete nainstalovat i do vlastní instance Wordpressu, udělat ze svého blogu součást sítě Fediverse a přímo komunikovat nejen s uživateli Mastodonu. Přečtěte si, jak na to.

#ActivityPub #blog #fediverse #Mastodon #sociálníSítě #wordpress

Okay, big news for everyone with a WordPress blog, including people with a free blog on wordpress.com!

You can now turn *any* WordPress blog into a Fediverse server which can be followed from Mastodon etc.

I've updated the instructions on how to do this at:

➡️ fedi.tips/wordpress-turning-yo…

Just to repeat, this is now available to ALL WordPress blogs including free tier ones. The free tier has slightly different instructions, but effect is same.

(via wordpress.com/blog/2023/10/11/…)

#WordPress #Fediverse


@jachym Je to náhrada Instagramu. Pixelfed je také #fediverse a #ActivityPub podobně jako Mastodon. Jsou tam otevřené registrace. Platba je dobrovolná, jinak je zdarma. Zatím nejsou oficiální aplikace, je zatím v testování, ale funguje dobře.
Místo Google Photos je super Immich. Mám ho také na serveru. Ten jsem chtěl nabízet za menší poplatek na provoz na subdoméně jmeno.mycloud.photos. Třeba někdo využije s rodinou.


Krásné páteční #dobréRáno přátelé #fediverse .

Communal Bonfires; creating space for group-scale discourse on top of @matrix

Today we're pre-releasing Commune, our first foundational step towards a community platform built specifically for alignment with digital gardens.

Cyber-ecological messaging anyone?!

It's an evolving piece of software serving as the primary bonfire component of the overarching Community OS concept.

I've been messing about with the Lemmy 🔁 Mastodon interop today and it has BLOWN MY MIND. 🤯

This excellent post from @vjprema explains how to use #Lemmy from your #Mastodon account. Amazing.

vijayprema.com/using-lemmy-fro…

As @evan says, don't bet against the #fediverse.

This thing is 🔥.


There's an alternative version of Mastodon called "Mastodon Glitch Edition" (aka "glitch-soc" or just "Glitch"). Glitch is totally compatible with normal Mastodon, but adds experimental new features.

For example, Glitch instances let the admin alter the character limit, allow local posting, text formatting and lots of other stuff.

Many features in Glitch have eventually made their way into normal Mastodon after proving themselves stable and useful.

You can find out more at:

glitch-soc.github.io/docs/

If you run your own Mastodon instance you can switch to Glitch, and switch back again if you don't like it.

(You may be wondering how this post is so long? It's because FediTips is on an instance that uses Glitch, and the instance character limit has been extended to 1000.)

#FediTips #MastoTips #Fediverse #Mastodon #Glitch #GlitchSoc


“The fact that large platforms are adopting ActivityPub is not only validation of the movement towards decentralized social media, but a path forward for people locked into these platforms to switch to better providers. Which in turn, puts pressure on such platforms to provide better, less exploitative services. This is a clear victory for our cause, hopefully one of many to come.”

Famous last words.

Meine Damen und Herren. Auf dem ersten Bild sehen Sie die Daten, die die App #Threads von Ihnen speichern und einem Profil zuordnen möchte. Das zweite Bild zeigt die App #Mastodon und welche Daten dort erhoben werden. 👇

#fediverse #meta #zuckerberg


#Threads by #Meta forcing itself into the #Fediverse is bad and will harm the Fediverse as a whole if not straight up kill it.

I am baffled to see claims such as "we should give them a chance!" or "this could help the Fediverse grow!", as if we're not talking about one of the probably most immoral, unethical, and predatory businesses in this day and age.

Meta isn't coming to play fair. They're coming to use us for profit.

Svět #fediverse není jen Mastodon. Možná někdo využije náš PixelfedCZ, který byl vytvořen jako open-source alternativa k Instagramu, která by umožnila uživatelům sdílet své fotografie a videa bez zásahu externích společností. Nebo díky ActivityPub, je možné sledovat uživatelé třeba s Pixelfed na platformě Mastodon.

Right now the #Fediverse feels like a treehouse village full of ewok scientists, #Bluesky feels like the first week of senior year at a gifted college where everyone's doing amphetamines and no teachers are around, and #Twitter feels like a once-popular neighborhood playground where the tarmac is crumbling, it's always twilight, some of your friends are still clustered nervously near the edges, and crowds of bullies are moshing in the center.


От себя тоже поприветствую всех пришедших и дам несколько советов.

✅ Заполните профиль и поставьте аватарку. Неплохой идеей будет указать там ваши увлечения или вид деятельности.
✅ Напишите что-нибудь: приветствие, пост о себе (тут используют тег #introduction
✅ Листайте ваши локальные и глобальные ленты, и подписывайтесь на тех, кто интересен - тут нет алгоритма, который будет подсовывать вам контент. Набрать свою ленту нужно будет самостоятельно. Также возможно вам будет полезно зайти в настройки и установить языки контента, которые вы хотите видеть в ленте.
✅ Общайтесь с людьми.
✅ Не бросайте как только Twitter опять даст заднюю - дайте свободным соцсетям шанс, они могут вас удивить.

Эти простые советы могут помочь вам не заскучать и заинтересовать других людей подписаться на вас.

#Mastodon #Fediverse #twitter #migration #TwitterMigration #log #новичкам #newbies


Hello, new folks from Twitter,

- Welcome to the fediverse!

- If you’ve joined mastodon.social because it was the default option in the app, please look to move to a smaller instance so mastodon.social doesn’t grow to become Twitter 2.0. (You can use instances.social to find a new instance or ask folks on here for suggestions.)

- Please add alternate text to your images so people who use screen readers can join in too. (accessibility.huit.harvard.edu…)

#TwitterMigration #mastodon #fediverse


If the #Fediverse is going to see a #TwitterMigration2.0 ... please consider boosting #Calckey to newcomers.

calckey.org/join/
Calckey is a newer FOSS microblogging portal into the Fediverse. 100% interoperable with Mastodon, but with features Twitter users probably want:

* QTs (called "Quote Renotes")
* Support for markdown in notes which is bold* Gallery for images
* "Antennas" to help discovery and "Channels" to help organize

Mastodonauts can also migrate to Calckey just as they would another Mastodon instance (that's what I did).

Just saying... the Fediverse doesn't revolve around Mastodon. This is open source social media. Don't stop migrating!


I only discovered the #fediverse this week because I stopped being able to conveniently access reddit.

Love the concept, still adapting to the execution.

This will probably only reach the void but: is there a community for professional chemists or laboratory workers like r/chempros or r/labrats?


FrauTux thematisiert in einem Gastbeitrag den möglichen Beitritt von Meta (Facebook) in das #Fediverse. Lesenswert und interessante Gedanken zum Thema. 👇

kuketz-forum.de/t/kommentar-fe…

#meta #facebook #socialmedia


oh, here's some JUICY rumored details about meta's plans for the fediverse

tl;dr "Meta will only federate with select larger instances from the beginning. There will be contracts which also provide for financial compensation for the instance owners."

can't entirely verify their validity but it's still worth posting just in case

@Nuno @amitten Well, I'd say it depends a lot on the concrete situation. Many #activitypub devs have seen how historically companies like Meta & Google have applied a Trojan horse strategy, to eventually take over the small spaces that decentralized and/or FOSS projects had opened. The #XMPP case comes to mind, but it also encompasses how the whole web has become.

If to put in place measures to avoid that happening to the #Fediverse is being a fanatic, long live the fanatics! 😃


Da bin ich ein Wochenende weniger online, weil ich anderweitig gearbeitet habe, und schon explodiert das #Fediverse und es geht um #Meta-Instanzen und sehr berechtigten Protest dagegen.

fedipact.online/

Ich bin ehrlich fassungslos.

@markus wir müssen uns für dresden.network mal mit was auseinander setzen.

Und falls es irgendwer vergessen haben sollte, warum das Fediverse so gut ist und funktioniert, wie es eben funktioniert, habe ich hier nochmal 2 meiner Sticker dabei.

Freie dezentrale Netze statt datenfressender Monopole

Social Media? Machen wir selbst!


Kitsune is a new project that has joined the fediverse recently. It's mostly written in Rust and intends on Mastodon API compatibility so it can use the existing app ecosystem. It also just got initial support for viewing full PeerTube and Lemmy posts!

You can learn more at joinkitsune.org, and you can follow the development from here at @dev, which is being posted from a Kitsune server! Here is an example post on a live server you can look at as well dev.joinkitsune.org/posts/0188… #fediverse
