@**joe it is incredibly sad to have a Friend identified as a white nationalist. I think this is my first experience with such on #Friendica after joining libranet.de ~2 years ago. (lent 2022 if I recall correctly)
since the 2023.12 https://friendi.ca/2023/12/24/friendica-2023-12-released/ release of Friendica you can limit the communication with nodes of the Fediverse before blocking communication completely. Then communication, the exchange of postings, will still be possible -- but the data exchanged with the other node are limited as much as possible.
This might be a way to deal with communication to a good friends on evil corporate server without providing too much information about users of your node. The settings to configure this limited communication have to be put into the config/local.config.php (see defaults https://git.friendi.ca/friendica/friendica/src/branch/develop/static/defaults.config.php#L328) file at the moment, it is planned to get the settings into the admin panel, but for now it is only the config file. There, in the system section add the following:
and from then on communication with the two servers social.evil-corp.com and other-evil.com is limited to the technical necessary information. This includes
The posting and its content
From the user profile the nickname and the profile key.
@Michael Vogel please correct me if I'm missing something, and thanks for implementing this solution!
I wonder if it is design intent that #friendica won't let me put line breaks inside a spoiler
Reveal/hideWhy yes I do have #ADHD. I was taking meds for it until 11/1/23 when my employer provided "health insurance" arbitrarily decided to no longer authorize them.
“Allow friends to post to my wall?Your contacts may write posts on your profile wall. These posts will be distributed to your contacts” I don’t understand what toggling this option off/on does? #Friendica#Vier#Settings@Friendica Support

@Hank G ☑️ could Relatica save the information which group/circle was viewed last and start with that instead of my general timeline? Or maybe a setting which group to show when starting the app?
Is anyone else having Friendica/Lemmy federation issues?
!Fediverse!Fediverse (JP) I am subscribed to many #lemmy communities from Friendica. I really love how it works, showing up as Friendica #Forums and basically just being exactly what I want (and one of the reasons why having your #friendica account enabled 👍 & 👎 is important for the upvote/downvote #features). It is WAY better than trying to follow such communities from #mastodon and I personally like the convince of one account and the UI better than Lemmy's native. It feels like it used to work seamlessly, however over the last few months something doesn't seem to work as well. I don't see nearly as many posts in my Network feed anymore, not all of my posts ever seem to actually be shown on the community page I put new posts to when I go there after being surprised, I haven't had any reactions/comments after a time, and a whole lot of comments and reactions to stuff I have posted successfully never show on my side when they do. I'm not sure if it's a recent change to #Friendica or #lemmy that has affected it, or perhaps if it's related to the #RedditMigration and the sheer number of additional users/connections/traffic the various Lemmy instances have than they did a few months ago. I haven't filed an issue because I am not sure where to even start. It could even by my attempts to always cross post, by putting various tags for @ and ! in posts like this, which iirc used to work just fine too, but even I only post to one I'm still seeing extreme delays, and/or lack of federation at all. also, frequently DELTE & RE-DRAFT rather than EDIT, particularly due to having friends on #Diaspora* and #GNUsocial that don't support EDIT, and somehow, I feel like that might have an impact too? #DazedAndConfused#andStatus@AndStatus project @redditmigratoin@kbin.social @Friendica Support
I don't know whether that is specific to that instance (or even the chosen theme ... I need to try another), but as my landlord's son used to say (when I was in high school): eess bloka (it's broken).
@fu From #GNU_social, I only see a few of your posts in the thread. As you may know, #Diaspora's protocol is different from #OStatus, so the D* posts do not cross over.
But there's more going on. Years ago, when I hosted a #Friendica instance, posts from ~F to OStatus appeared natively. Now they don't. For example, almost never will a mention or reply from ~F to GS appear in the recipient's replies stream. This doesn't only happen on GS, though.
On Pleroma instances, ~F posts (at least from #libranet.de) appear with delays of 2-12 hours or more, sometimes out of context, usually out of order. They also sometimes change the scope when they reply to a scope limited post.
I have a ~Friendica account on libranet.de, but I barely ever use it because _everything_ seems to be broken and it frustrates me every time I try to use it. I should probably close it and check to see whether the issues are local to libranet.de or something common to all Friendica instances.
@Evan Prodromou I follow several people on identi.ca from my #Friendica account, some time ago the pump.io plugin quit working. Once you turn #ActivityPub on do you think I'll automatically get all their status updates again?
Thanks to the #RedditMigration and #redditBlackOut the "flagship" instances of #lemmy and #kbin have been experiencign the "hug of death" #DdOS If you have the ability to spin up an instance to help out, please do. Alternatively get folks to register for smaller instances like lemmy.ca fedi.io feddit.de and even ones that ar e primarily in languages other than your own fedia.io/
yet another example of why #friendica is so much better than mastodon. This is the last post in a long thread about #Reddit charging for API access. They are like the 30th person to recommend #Lemmy, which is super noticeable here since #friendica does proper status #threading, but it sure isn't clear on #Mastodon, particularly depending which user in the thread you #follow.
♲ @deadsuperhero@social.treehouse.systems: that's just so insane to me. Clients are a huge boon to platforms; pricing developers out is actively hostile to almost everyone.
If things go from worse to worst, maybe it might be worth considering building for the fediverse, kind of like what Tapbots is doing? There's a Reddit alternative called Lemmy that pretty much replaces most of Reddit's main functionality.
