are there "best practice" PHP Versions?
Hi there @Friendica Support,
I wonder if there are PHP versions to recommend when running friendica.
In older versions (2019-12 + 2021.01-04) I experienced problems when creating connections getting "The network type couldn't be detected. Contact can't be added." messages using PHP 7.4 (as the install instruction stated 7.1 or higher).
After downgrading to 7.1 it looked like connecting started to work well.
Right now I'm working on a new VPS for tupambae.org:
Friendica 'Giant Rhubarb' 2023.05 - 1518
PHP 8.2.10
(it's a beta testing of a hoster) but some how not everything works as expected.
I just tried to contact the public forum @Rugby from this profile here.
Over here, the contact is displayed as follows:
(Group) I follow them (#DFRN (via #ActivityPub))
but over there this profile doesn't show up.
No problems for now with establishing connections with mastodon profiles and I just tested a friendica 2021.01 profile and that worked to.
Should I downgrade the PHP version and if so to which one?
Also, I posted a help request to the helpers page about how to set up the forum pages properly as the don't work "as expected" but it doesn't look to me as if the post was received by the helpers forum:

Not sure what a form of repository means. They have "edge" and also versions
