There is a feature that does exactly that - remote self.

I know the Documentation could be better, but at least that's covered 😉

Hello @Raroun hope you're well. every now & then, when i have joined a different #Friendica instance in the past, i ask this same question of its Owners / Admins. always it's the same negative answer, but i live in hope!

on Masto & Sharkey instances, if the Admins are willing, it is technically possible to add FOSS emojis to the servers. consequently, on many of my instances i've been able to include these in various posts when applicable:

:plasma: :zenbrowser: :floorp: :firefox_nightly: :fedora: :opensuse: :debian:

so... is there yet any way that such emojis can be added to your instance, please?

Problem with second account, automatically switches to primary account

Hi !Friendica Support
I am the admin of my #friendica instance,I registered an additional account . But when I go to switch to my secondary account, it automatically switches back to the primary account .

A few months ago everything was working fine, then suddenly I had this problem, I thought it was an account issue and deleted it. But it always happens to me

What could it be?

VideoThe account is not even in the delegation

Friendica | Frage: Im Beitrag eingebettetes MP4 Video bricht ab

Wenn ich ein MP4 Video wie z. B. hier einbette und es dann abspiele, bricht es nach ca. 33 Sekunden ab. Öffne ich es in einem neuen Browsertab (Link) läuft es dort problemlos.

Wo könnte das Problem liegen?

Friendica | Wie komme ich an den Kommentar?

Ich habe in diesem Beitrag laut feddit.org folgenden Kommentar:

Problem ist einzig und allein, dass er mir unter Friendica nicht angezeigt wird. Gerade herausgefunden habe ich das die Beiträge der Gruppe/Community Verkehrswende offenbar auch nicht korrekt hier her federiert werden. Da gibt es also offenbar mehr Probleme als ich ursprünglich dachte.

Wie komme ich an den Kommentar, um darauf reagieren zu können?

Danke für Eure Tipps und Hilfe im Voraus. 😀

Frage | Friendica: Spam vor allen von Diaspora her?

Kann es sein das Spam im Fediverse vor allen von Diaspora her kommt? Klar ich hatte das auch schon auf Basis von Mastodon, aber eben nur sehr sehr wenig. Das was Diapora kommt ist wesentlich mehr. Neuestes Beispiel ist der Account globalfinancellz@diaspora.psyco.fr (Link) der mir folgenden schönen Kommentar schickte, den ich natürlich gelöscht habe:

I posted asking for help on this a bit ago, and while I didn't get any solutions, it did get my brain thinking outside of the box, and I found the solution, its easy, but proof that the UI, especially the settings layout really needs some work around here.

For whatever reason, the necessary setting isn't under the timeline settings, but Social Networks

The key setting here is Followed Content Scope, default is 'Conversations my follows started or commented on', but if'n you change it to 'Only conversations my follows started' if will only show original posts and boosts.

Hopefully this'll help others, I mentioned in a comment on my original post, but that could easily be missed, so here we go. Oh, and if'n you've any tag suggestions, send them my way, and I'll prolly add them.

@Friendica Support

How would people feel about a future version of Bookface removing the engagement counts from the Action Button? Now that the response info is reduced to an icon and a number the count on the Action Button with the same icon is redundant and makes the UI unnecessarily cluttered.

I know since the beginning of Bookface some people have found the engagement counts on the buttons too "busy" or "distracting" but before I remove them I thought I'd ask how people feel about that?

I don't know if anyone else has noticed it, but sometimes the engagement counts and responses don't agree. I *think* this is because the engagement counts are subtracting your own interactions? So in the screenshot above it's not counting my 2 comments and not counting my "Like" on the buttons, but is counting them in the response totals. Getting rid of the counts on the buttons would eliminate this inconsistency.

Thoughts?

@Friendica Developers @Friendica Support

#Friendica #BookFace #uidesign

The Zen Postbox add-on has been updated to version 1.3

This fixes an issue where the postbox styling was not shown sitewide or when users were not logged into the server. Now if either of the add-ons is enabled the postboxes should be shown on that server everywhere, even to users who are not logged in.

The add-ons have also been updated to make sure they work with the 2025.7 Release Candidate development version.

Again, the difference between Postbox and Zen Postbox is the first one only includes the stylesheet to show them. You have to manually add the BBcode to your posts. The "Zen" one adds a button to the Compose modal to let you pick from a list and automatically adds the BBcode to your post.

* Download Zen Postbox 1.3
* Download Postbox 1.3

@Friendica Admins #Friendica #Addons #Postboxes

New releases fix a couple of problems. The add-ons should now work with both the stable and development releases.

Zen Postbox 1.2 [Download] - this is the one that adds a button to the message composer. This release fixes the missing images for the animated backgrounds.

Postbox 1.2 [Download] - this just adds the stylesheet, it doesn't add any UI.

Thanks to @Kevin for helping me troubleshoot it!

Looks like I picked the wrong week to start using Friendica.

Crashes across all interfaces, takes forever to load. Maybe, if you collapsed all comments by default, just maybe it wouldn't be crunching so hard. Bluesky integration fails completely. Oh well, seemed perfect for me, in the abstract. I learned quite a lot about the potential. Think I just need to make Mastodon my one stop-shop instead.

I'm considering changing the engagement details below posts and comments now that Bookface shows icons for them. The current appearance is a vertical list, which can leave a lot of unused space to the right of it, plus all the explanatory text feels redundant and visually cluttering to me:

So I'm considering eliminating the explanatory text and going with a horizontal list of just names (for single interactions) and counts (that trigger the pop-over list) like this:

But that got me to an option with just icons and counts, which is similar to how Facebook and Misskey/Sharkey show reactions/engagements:

Which is what I'd prefer as it looks the cleanest and most consistent.

Thoughts on this proposed change? (I really wish Friendica had polls for this sort of thing!)

Friendica: Keine Kontaktinfos bei den Beiträgen?

Früher war es doch so das wenn man mit dem Mauszeiger oben über den Namen oder das Profilbild eines Kontakts ging ein kleines Feld kam in dem man verschiedene Optionen zum Kontakt hatte. Doch hier ist das irgendwie nicht mehr der Fall, es ist nur noch ein Link zum Profil. Ist das ein generelles Problem, oder nur bei mir?

Die Daten meiner Instanz: Diese Friendica-Instanz verwendet die Version 2024.12, sie ist unter der folgenden Adresse im Web zu finden fedinaut.de. Die Datenbankversion ist 1576/1576 und die Post-Update-Version 1550/1550.

Friendica: Unvollständige Federation mit Lemmy

Wenn ich die Lemmy Community https://feddit.org/c/heidelberg der ich seil längerer Zeit folge direkt öffne, sehen die ersten sechs Beiträge so aus:

Wenn ich sie mir jedoch über Friendica anschaue sehen ich jedoch nur die drei Beiträge davon, die ich selbst erstellt habe:

Sprich die Hälfte der Beiträge fehlt. Woran kann das liegen ?

#Friendica #Frage #Lemmy #Federation #Beiträge #2025-04-28 !Friendica Support @Matthias

@Friend Icare #Friendica is using external media (like youtube) directly and does not "proxify" them. For YT videos there is or was an addon for redirecting it to an #Invidious instance. Since Google started blocking such instances, there are only a few working left. My favorite is inv.nadeko.net . So your administrator needs configure it unless not yet done.

For the other external references, I have no idea, just block 3rd-party cookies, I guess.

Friendica: Warum sind in den Kommentaren keine Profilbilder von Lemmy Accounts zu sehen?

Ja ich weiß das auf Lemmy die Sache mit den Benutzeraccounts etwas anders gehandhabt wird. Aber das Profilbild des Accounts der den Beitrag eingestellt hat sieht man ja auch. Hier ein Beispiel:

Does anybody know how homepage verification with Friendica works? I'm going with this wiki entry.

freifunkh@friendica.me has a homepage in its profile and the homepage has a link to the profile with rel="me" set. These are the results:

• Opening the profile in a browser without login => homepage URL visible and marked as verified (✔️).
• Opening the profile while being logged into Friendica (different server) => no URL visible.
• Opening the profile while being logged into Mastodon (different server) => no URL visible.

Mastodon App even shows a warning, saying there is no verified link.

Ich habe gerade den "Leitfaden für den Instanz-Betrieb im dezentralen Netzwerk - Datenschutz bei Mastodon" von gefunden.
Dieser gibt neben grundsätzlichen Informationen auf was Instanzbetreiber achten müssen, vor allem auch eine sehr praktische Sammlung an Musterdokumenten unter CC BY-ND 4.0-Lizenz. Ihr könnt es also für euere Instanzen anpassen und nutzen.

Auch relevant für @Friendica Admins / @Friendica Support

Auf einem abstrakten Niveau sind die Anforderungen, die wir beschreiben, auch auf andere Plattformen des Fediverse übertragbar. Dennoch gibt es einige Aspekte, die von der konkreten Plattform und Software-Implementierung abhängen. So sind zum Beispiel die Möglichkeiten, rechtliche Texte einzubinden und anzuzeigen, unterschiedlich.

I moved the #Friendica Wiki to another server. I need some people to test it and see if all works. I will then solve the problems pointed out.

The initial setup was not done by me. It was still on a server with php 7.4 because it did not work with 8.x due to some plugins. I removed those plugins, apparently not maintained since 2014.

I also saw that it loads some js from some CDN, I don't like that either, so tips welcome on that. Maybe there is a plugin that stores such stuff locally?

Also can you suggest a free service to analyze your webpage, show problem, broken links and such?

I saw that the Avatar (only a systemwide standard avatar for all users) is not displayed in my Firefox, but looks fine on Chromium. May be a DNS issue, so local issue only, seems tailscale some how messes up my DNS resolution. But please have a look for any embedded stuff that does not load!

Send me screenshots if you like and/or links to the problem page.

Friendica: Animated GIF wird nicht korrekt angezeigt

Das Profilbild von @Thunfischer 🐅 (Mastodon) ist ein animiertes GIF bei dem das dargestellte Gesicht hin und wieder mit einen Auge zwinkert. Auf dem Mastodon Profil funktioniert das auch so. Hier auf Friendica hingegen ist das gelegentliche Zwinkern zu einen Dauerzwinkern geworden. Ich kann mir also nur vorstellen das es an Friendica oder am Browser (Firefox) liegt. Den wenn ich das Bild im Browser einzeln aufrufe, hat es auch das nervöse Dauerzwinkern.

Hat einer von Euch eine Idee woran das liegen könnte?

Problems with embedded videos in posts

Hello @Friendica Support

Why when I create a post and embed a video (I upload the video to my friendica storage) I always find it at the bottom of the page? I'll give you an example , I create the post like this

ABCabcAbcABC....I write something..... then I embed some videos from youtube like this,

and finally I insert the hashtags

#friendica #support #etc

I click on preview and everything is perfect , when I click on share, I publish my post, and I find the attachment of the video that I inserted at the end after the hashtags

What kind of formatting should I use? I've tried various combinations, I normally write my posts in Joplin notes, then I copy and paste. But I created this post directly "Create new Post" but nothing changes

Learning question and a call for action:
Why do people say that the #friendica user interface #UI as seen from a standard laptop desktop, in other words a working station screen, isn't a pleasant experience?

This looks like serious stuff to me, like a #newsPaper outlet similiar to #NYtimes or #ZEIT.

• The page background, seen here on this server as a big center #copyLeftFleur is modifiable.
• The logo kind footer as weel.
• A simple text field for the main header of the page, like in this case [common ground | CC-BY-SA-NC] fits nicely.

Can somebody please #enshittify this #KISS a littel bit, wasting time, attention and selfconfidence of the coder community!
