I think that the #Fediverse has the potential to bring (social) #Web back closer to its original vision of its most important inventor, Tim #Berners-Lee:
"There is the idea that society can run without a hierarchical bureaucratic government being involved at every step, if only we can hit on the right set of rules for peer-peer interaction. So where design of the Internet and the Web is a search for set of rules which will allow computers to work together in harmony, so our spiritual and social quest is for a set of rules which allow people to work together in harmony."

BTW, warum packt Ihr denn Mastodon und andere Fediverse-Optionen (Friendica, Diaspora etc.) nicht in die Verlinkungsmöglichkeiten, sondern nur kommerzielle, zentralistische Plattformen?
Schön wäre es, wenn auch nicht zu erwarten. Leider redet der Populist #Linnemann seiner rechten Klientel mal wieder nach dem Maul. Die AfD lässt die #Union über's Stöckchen springen..
Done. Please consider that I do not have expert knowledge on that issue and basically just forwarding the conversation with the Fedilab devs. In particular, I do not understand why they need it, since a click on a reply (which is shown out of context in the timeline) opens the thread anyway already in the app.
Second: The getRemoteContactID method returns a value > 0 iff the page is reloaded completely (ctrl + f5) otherwise 0.
Accordingly, I have two questions:
Does anyone know how the "visitor" is identified, in more detail their contact-id (cid), on the local instance?
To the mysql pros: Can someone provide me the sql command to update the allow_cid filed in the photo table? This would make by debugging efforts much easier .
[ x ] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates Bug Description Sending images to a group. Images are set to private and are not displayed It has already been noticed elsewhere that all...
@Marek Bachmann @Friendica Entwickler Marek is it from an iPhone, I can remember that iPhones often have the wrong orientation of the photo, I had this a lot with photos my sister send me by Signal. She has an iPhone.
They are portraits for me when I click them. Desktop + Browser. My instance uses the Frio theme + some custom CSS on top that should not affect how these photos are displayed. idk if that's the sort of input you were looking for.
Thank you very much. As @Hypolite Petovan mentioned, it is high likely that something goes wrong with the small thumbnail generation.
What would also help me if this someone else / other instances face this issue. Instances need to run on the latest dev branch, since in the current stable I do not face this issue neither.
So if someone on a dev instance might try to upload a portrait photo and tell me if the problem also occurs, I will create a new issue for this phenom on git.
@Hypolite Petovan a general question which surely is in the scope of your expertise: Is there some method in git to check when a specific method / code block was last changed by a commit? In this specific case, I would like to check when and what was changed in the Images::getScalingDimensions($width, $height, 90); method to confirm / rule out being the cause of this bug.
@Marek Bachmann It’s a common criticism of the name of the feature, several alternatives have been suggested but there’s little chance any of them will be adopted.
Does anybody know about the "state of the art" regarding the image galleries? There are at least to broken behaviors.
1. There is a like button, but it has no effect (it does not toggle) 2. There is a comment option under the image (which indicated it is handled as a kind of thread, too) but if I tag someone things break.
@~friendica ">Marek Bachmann ~friendica Image galeries should be considered as a “construction site” as in “the developer ran out of money and rushed the construction”.
@~friendica ">Marek Bachmann ~friendica I believe that would be Mike McGirvin, not sure he'll be able to give you pointers about work he did more than 10 years ago. You're better off starting with a clean slate at this point.
Ahh really nice to know. Such an app is quite important to provide users easy access for handling media. Really appreciate your work and mindset on this topic.
And, yes I was referring to you in the thought that you might already be engaged in the media aspects in der friendica front end (and back end) since I for myself am eager to engage to better media support in friendica
I created a semi public friendica instance (kassel.social) and currently I do not want to allow registrations from general worldwide public but from people in my region. For this, I set the registration policy to "by approval". The problem now is, that I do not get notified by E-Mail if someone wants to register. I need to manually check the instance's front end to see that there is a new registration. Is this by intention, do I do something wrong? Otherwise, I would like to create a new issue on git regarding this.
Does anybody know where the E-Mail templates are stored and generated? I like to adjust an issue (for at least the German translation) that in the email subject it is written "X commented your post" even in the body it then tells me "X liked your post". :)
it is mindboggling how much money Mozilla have wasted on different stuff up trough the year. They could have with the income they already had, the future of Mozilla main products, Firefox and thunderbird, for life.
Instead they burn cash like no tomorrow and makes are kind of weird projects.
I am curious to learn if it will be just another mastodon instance - or if Mozilla will also consider Misskey, Pleroma, Friendica, or one of the other platforms. The fediverse is actually already made up of too much mastodon, mastodon, mastodon.
something like a magic Mastodon share button, e.g. as most automatically possible would be nice. Something hosted in a neutral portal that will magically link to users server.
@randal Disclaimer: Thunderbird is not technically under Mozilla's umbrella (we are MZLA Technologies) and not does officially speak on behalf of Mozilla.
@wouter I'd prefer Mozilla just focus their energy and enormous budget on just making Firefox awesome for now. You keep losing so much market share. Fix all the obvious issues first. Stop wasting time on silly things most people don't think are the priority.
Immer wieder: Wenn du deinen Satz mit "unpopular opinion" einleitest, musst du halt auch damit rechnen, dass die Meinung dann tatsächlich nicht so dolle ankommt. 🤭
Meiner Erfahrung mit dem Internet ist, dass wenn jemand mit "Unpopular opinion" seinen Satzbeginnt meistens Türen versucht einzurennen die sperrangelweit offen sind.
Ich habe über die Verwendung dieser Phrase in der Vergangenheit gar nicht nachgedacht und merke gerade, dass es ganz schön "elitär" rüberkommen kann. Vielleicht ist besser seine Meinung zu äußern ohne diese gleichzeitig in einen Kontext mit vermeintlichen Mehrheiten zu setzten.
bereitgestellt. Falls jemand aus #Kassel , #Hessen Lust hat mal eine andere Anwendung als #Mastodon im #fediverse auszuprobieren, freue ich mich über eure Teilnahme. Ich betreibe die Instanz rein privat in meiner Freizeit und experimentiere selbst noch mit dem Fediverse. Also am besten etwas Pioniergeist mitbringen. Aktive Mitgestaltung ausdrücklich erwünscht!
"Unsure where to register to join Fediverse? Choose from this curated list." - Die Webseite https://fediverse.party/en/portal/servers/ bietet eine kuratierte Liste von Fediverse-Instanzen und möchte Menschen helfen, "ihre Community zu finden".
@morethanevil Habe gerade Folgeanfrage gestellt, weil ich echt mal ausprobieren will, wie das funktioniert. Kann ich also hier auf Mastodon nicht nur eure Posts in der Zeitleiste sehen, sondern ich könnte die auch kommentieren und ihr seht meine Antworten dann zum Beispiel auf Friendica? Bei Accounts auf Pixelfed zu antworten, hat irgendwie bisher noch nicht funktioniert.
Du kommentierst hier schon Beiträge von friendica. Friendica und Mastodon "federieren" sehr gut miteinander. Kleine Ausnahme ist zum Beispiel das friendica (noch!) nicht die Teilnahme an Umfragen von Mastodon unterstützt. Dafür kann es aber an einigen Ecken wesentlich mehr als Mastodon. Formatierung von Beiträgen, einbetten von Bildern etc.
Danke! Das habe ich bisher nicht „bewusst“ wahrgenommen, vielleicht weil es aus dem Instanz-Namen nicht immer gleich erkennbar ist, mit welcher Anwendung jemand unterwegs ist?
Dazu ein kleiner Tipp: Wenn Du unten rechts in einem Beitrag auf die drei Punkte klickst, kannst Du mit "Ursprüngliche Seite öffnen" sehen, wo und wie der Beitrag ursprünglich erstellt wurde. Das lohnt sich immer mal wieder, da auch Mastodon nicht immer alle Inhalte der Originalbeitrags 1:1 übernimmt. Zum Beispiel limitiert Mastodon die Anzahl der Bilder in einem Beitrag auf vier, auch wenn im Originalbeitrag mehr Bilder eingefügt wurden.

Hi @Fedilab Apps how can I switch my timeline to always and directly show full context of a thread. I really don't like the Twitter / Mastodon Style to read text from unknown users and not knowing the context until I click on the message. Feels so unfamiliar to me.

We are very happy to announce the avail-ability of the new stable version of Friendica. Wrapping up the sprint from the 2022.10 release of Friendica we closed 73 filed issues and had almost 300 pull requests by 19 contributors.
A special thanks goes out to Christian Pöschl from usd AG and Matthias Moritz who have found a CSRF- and XSS-attack, that is fixed with this release.
In addition to fixing this bug, the highlights of the changes since the 2022.10 release are
The default theme of Friendica (frio) got many improvements and some old themes got deprecated.
The calendar saw some improvements and can now be made visible to anonymous visitors.
The homepage mentioned on the user profile is now automatically verified via the rel-me backlink.
Images attached to a posting are now shown in a grid at the bottom of the posting.
A moderation corner was established from the admin panel where a future release will add more moderation tool and bundle them with the current once.
For details, please the CHANGELOG file in the repository.
Since version 2022.06 the lowest required PHP version Friendica needed on the server was raised to PHP 7.3 and PHP 8.0 is supported.
What is Friendica
Friendica is a decentralized communications platform, you can use to host your own social media server that integrates with independent social networking platforms (like the Fediverse or Diaspora*) but also some commercial ones like Twitter.
Ensure that the last backup of your Friendica installation was done recently.
Using Git
Updating from the git repositories should only involve a pull from the Friendica core repository and addons repository, regardless of the branch (stable or develop) you are using. Remember to update the dependencies with composer as well. So, assuming that you are on the stable branch, the commands to update your installation to the 2022.12 release would be cd friendica git pull bin/composer.phar install --no-dev cd addon git pull If you want to use a different branch than the stable one, you need to fetch and checkout the branch before your perform the git pull.
Pulling in the dependencies with composer will show some deprecation warning, we will be working on that in the upcoming release.
As many files got deleted or moved around, please upload the unpacked files to a new directory on your server (say friendica_new) and copy over your existing configuration (config/local.config.php and config/addon.config.php) and .htaccess files. Afterwards rename your current Friendica directory (e.g. friendica) to friendica_old and friendica_new to friendica.
The files of the dependencies are included in the archive (make sure you are using the friendica-full-2022.12 archive), so you don’t have to worry about them.
Post Update Tasks
The database update should be applied automatically, but sometimes it gets stuck. If you encounter this, please initiate the DB update manually from the command line by running the script bin/console dbstructure update from the base of your Friendica installation. If the output contains any error message, please let us know using the channels mentioned below.
Please note, that some of the changes to the database structure will take some time to be applied, depending on the size of your Friendica database.
Known Issues
Regarding the update process none as of writing.
How to Contribute
If you want to contribute to the project, you don’t need to have coding experience. There are a number of tasks listed in the issue tracker with the label “Junior Jobs” we think are good for new contributors. But you are by no means limited to these – if you find a solution to a problem (even a new one) please make a pull request at github or let us know in the development forum.
Contribution to Friendica is also not limited to coding. Any contribution to the documentation, the translation or advertisement materials is welcome or reporting a problem. You don’t need to deal with Git(Hub) or Transifex if you don’t like to. Just get in touch with us and we will get the materials to the appropriate places.
using WP + elementor for my personal home page. Added rel=me to a link in the page pointing at my #Friendica profile per the elementor instructions. Not working? Most likely I am doing it wrong.
Or else - where do I send my $8 to get my blue check!?
@Falgn0n The Wizard The rel=“me” presence is checked once on profile form submission, and then once a day. Please resubmit the profile edit form first.
I think your speed experience of old was more based around that specific instance and its configuration (and it is no longer running). My Friendica installation is as quick and responsive as my Akkoma instance.
On the topic of Friendica I was also somewhat surprised to notice the new (beta) app Mammoth is showing my Friendica instance quite well. Surprised especially since Mammoth does not show my Akkoma (i.e. Pleroma) instance (which the app MetaText does though).
That makes sense. I noticed, during the last Twitter Migration influx, that my Mastodon instance slowed down a couple of times, just like I experienced when I was using Friendica.
What was it about Akkoma that you liked over Pleroma? What made you switch?
Depends how you define speed. I run my instance for several years now and I think Friendica became much faster and easier on server resources in last three or so versions.
However obviously it depends on the instance and how loaded it is.
Also certain operations in Friendica are slower by design compared to some other platforms. E.g. when you post a comment it isn't fired to other servers almost immediately like in Mastodon but is sent on next worker run which typically is every several minutes. In that regard Friendica feels less like chat and more like email :)
Ach Quatsch, heute Abend. Ich habe doch so eine schöne VM-Infrastruktur ! SnapShot machen und schon konnte das Update durchrutschen. Danach noch 5 Minuten das DB-Update abwarten und schon ist die "Zwenkauer Flaschenpost" wieder aktuell.
So, when you create a post, you won't be able to insert images between text like you do now? If so, that's a very bad idea... A good idea would be to insert images where the cursor is. With a table of pics at the end of the post it'll would look like fucking FB. :(
@AndiS 🌞🍷🇪🇺 The change we added to .htaccess-dist must be applied manually by node admins to their respective .htaccess file because we don't have access to them from the official Friendica repository.
If you paste the contents of your .htaccess file, I'll be able to give you the updated version.

I'd say 8.1 is supported, not sure why you kept 8.0.
@Friendica News What format should the rel-me backlink have? I tried using the same format as on Mastodon, and it does not seem to work (probably because I am using a specific service)
@Cătălin Petrescu @Friendica News It is the same expected format as on Mastodon. However, the verification isn’t immediate and its result when successful is rather discreet (a checkbox next to the homepage URL in the profile information in the left column).
@Hypolite Petovan @Friendica News I see. I got no personal webpage to try, so I checked all the options I had in order not to create an additional account somewhere just for this. So I found that Gravatar also provides Mastodon verification and decided to try it out here as well.
It's been more than one day already and it's still not showing up the checkmark on my profile here. I wasn't sure if I mistook something or if Gravatar is simply not the right tool for this.
@Cătălin Petrescu It looks good on both your profile and the Gravatar page. Please try to update your profile settings even if you do not change any field. This will queue a verification task for the worker to pick up.
I did some testing on my server and seems some links indeed don't pass verification. Perhaps the parser is too strict. I noticed that one of non-working links has link HTML tag instead of a and the other has several values in rel attribute - maybe this is what breaks the check?
Some links don't seem to pass verification procedure and checkmark doesn't appear. Test profile: https://friends.deko.cloud/profile/bot Link examples: https://social.deko.cloud/test.html - ...
@Cătălin Petrescu @Александр No worries, once the related GitHub issue is resolved, the node you're on will be soon be updated and you'll be able to re-run the check again, hopefully with success this time.
@Hypolite Petovan @Александр Thanks. For now I tried to change the link and modify it a couple of times, however gravatar seems to have some limits in the number of verifications, so I failed verification on Gravatar as well now, haha.
Thanks for using my profile as a guinea pig, hope this will help others tho.
Edit: here's the message I receive now, haha, oups
Edit2: Just managed to add the link back on Gravatar side. Not gonna edit any longer for now unless there is a sure fix for it. Looking forward for this :D
@Jonathan "Mastodon" Lamothe just pull/update and then quickly look in the shipped .htaccess-dist or so and there is a rewrite rule line with an additional B compared to your current version, so only one capital letter B needs to be added.
I created a new instance, but for what ever reason the first registered user has no admin rights. How can I set admin rights to a user via console? Thanks!
@Marek Bachmann :friendica: You need to add their account email address to the system.admin_email configuration key in the config/local.config.php file.
Thank you. I had to change config.admin_email, but that worked. But I previously thought that it would determine the email address to get in contact with the admin rather to identify his account
@Marek Bachmann :friendica: Most configuration key purpose is explained in static/defaults.config.php for the file-based configuration, and in static/settings.config.php for database-based configuration.
Does fancybox add-on currently support displaying the image description (more formally, the content of the "alt" attribute of the img tag), and if yes, how / where? If no, do we want to add it?
I am not sure what you mean by "grabbed from /photos/one/image/ID". I checked a few posts with images and their source uris, they all are from various locations depending on the origin of the post. For Friendica post the uris of the images are most frequent in the fromat: "instace url"/photo/"32 chars hash"-0.jpg
Can you elaborate your issue in more detail please? Thank you.
Hmm including bbcode as code to be displayed in the bbcode "code" tag seems not work too well. Here again, but I replaced bbcode's square bracket with round braces to be able to displays it: (img=https://loma.ml/photo/2191399142639ee5009eea5694130000)Fediverse(/img)
Thank you for clarification. I affirm that fancy box is not triggered there, but image neither displayed directly. On my instance, clicking on an image creates some kind of gallery, allowing me to browse through the images:
Do you expect that fancybox is triggered when you would click on the camper image in my screenshot?
Well have a look at the image gallery on my friendica (https://friends.brockha.us/photos/grischa). You'll notice, that my images are loaded in fancybox there already. 😉 As there is no hook it is not possible to do that from an addon. I use a patched frio theme for that. :)
Ich verstehe. Tatsächlich hatte es mich bisher nicht gestört. Ich fand es im Gegenteil sogar praktisch, um die direkte URL des angeklickten Bildes zu bekommen oder es mir (wieder) irgendwo abzuspeichern. Aber das ist ja nur meine "Vorliebe". Über den aktuellen Stand, bei dem Du schon so durch die Bilder klicken kannst, noch Fancybox darüberzulegen bei einem Klick auf das gerade angezeigte Bild halte ich für unangemessene "Doppelfunktion". Ob es technisch aber möglich wäre Dir dies als Option des Fancybox Add-Ons zu ermöglichen müsstest Du @Grischa fragen. :)
Ganz im Allgemeinen finde ich, dass wir noch einiges an Verbesserungen im Umgang mit Medien auf Friendica in Zukunft einführen können.
I would assume, that blind people don't use fancybox
I think it is not on us to decide it, and I am convinced by the slogan "a good inclusion measure is beneficial to anybody".
To be honest I got very quickly used to read the descriptions by myself since I often find it interesting how people describe their content and in some rare cases it helped me to understand what I "see" on the image in the first place.
Hm, ich kann am PC keine Beiträge anklicken, wenn nur ein Bild getrötet wurde. Ich kann das Bild anklicken, aber nicht die Kommentare zu dem Bild ansehen. Was ist denn da los?
Ich habe vor sieben Jahren beschlossen, an keinen Familienfeiern mehr teilzunehmen und seitdem genieße ich Weihnachten wesentlich mehr. Die letzte war der 60. Geburtstag meiner Schwester und die Feier war wirklich furchtbar. Ich habe mir auf dem Weg nach Hause nach der Feier geschworen, mir das nie wieder anzutun. Und bis heute halte ich mich daran. Ich mache mir an Weihnachten einfach ein paar schöne, entspannte Tage.
Bin noch, wie jedes Jahr, mit der Unzufriedenheit über die Dinge, die ich dieses Jahr noch erledigen wollte, aber nicht mehr schaffen werde, beschäftigt.

@ChristophKappes Nee. Bin aber trotzdem eher auf der Seite von @nrrtv hehe. Außerdem muss ich mich über Biedermeier schlau machen um zu gucken ob der Vorwurf an Mastodon/Rosa stimmt!
@nrrtv Vllt zur Einordnung noch: mE ist die Grundlinie aus Horkheimer/Adornos Dialektik der Aufklärung. Die instrumentelle Vernunft, gedacht um sich die Natur zu unterwerfen, richtet sich zuende gedacht (und am Ende) gegen den Menschen selbst. Das labelt er um als „Aggression“. Die „Resonanz“ ist, dass der Mensch zu sich selbst kommt. Boulevardisierung wie aus einem Bestseller-Kochbuch. Die harte Negativität der „Adorniten“ hat schon Habermas kritisiert.

Let me start with a concrete, question: Are there any efforts / plans to support the upload of videos?
And now, since I might have your attention, allow me to broaden the question to:
What is your opinion regarding "what #Friendicais / should be"?
My view / vision is heading slightly in the direction that nowadays image and video content is quite central in social networks and thus a #Fediverse application like friendica should support the multimedia aspect a bit more, if it wants to be attractive for the broad public in terms of being an alternative to commercial social networks.

My view / vision is heading slightly in the direction that nowadays image and video content is quite central in social networks and thus a #Fediverse application like friendica should support the multimedia aspect a bit more, if it wants to be attractive for the broad public in terms of being an alternative to commercial social networks.
Most of you might tell: "Yeah, if one prefers media centric Fediverse, then check out #pixelfed ". But I think, pixelfed is yet too much of an Instagram clone, only providing the image / video focus (which bothered me at Instagram from the very beginning not being able to have good commenting / discussion options there).
In my view, Friendica has great potential becoming a great "one fits all" application for the majority of people who like social media and the concept of the Fediverse. It has way more cool functions than #mastodon / pixelfed (which are in my opinion too close copies of Instagram and Twitter, respectively) but much simpler and convenient than Hubzilla (which I think is really great, for a computer science person, but not for the broad non-technical focussed public)
Wrapping it up: I would love to see a Friendica development towards an easier multimedia support. What are your thoughts?
@Marek Bachmann :friendica: I think the question is misguided. Friendica isn’t a coherent entity. It’s developers, present and past (quite a few opinionated choices we’ve had to grapple with), server admins and users.
So ultimately Friendica ends up being what the people working on it want to spend their time on, regardless of any coherent central vision.
So far no developer has had any strong inclination working on image/video, but you can single-handedly change this, and you’ve already started with the wonderful image grid you came up with.
HI @Hypolite Petovan thank you for your precious answer. I can clearly see that my question seems "misguided" in terms of an open source project, which is perfectly fine since it was by intention:
I wanted to hear from you people who are just more experienced in the Fediverse world what YOU think about Fediverse in general and Friendica specifically.
And I think this valuable, not least because there is always the chance that someone's vision does not fit at all to the vision of the majority of other participants on such a project.
I admit that there is a certain amount of reinsurance included in my question, nevertheless.
@Marek Bachmann :friendica: Ah, if it's personal then I can answer! The main reasons why I use Friendica are the following:
Threaded conversations à-la-Facebook.
RSS support.
Diaspora support (I mainly like the concept, I don't have many remaining Diaspora contacts).
Twitter support (although my patience for the platform is rapidly dwindling).
It's written in PHP so I can contribute!
I've looked in Hubzilla as well but I found it too unintuitive and I don't care much about nomad identity anyway.
I also run a single-user Pixelfed instance that I though would be a good complement for images, but I found out that I use it the same way I used Instagram before Facebook bought it out, which excludes casual image posts.
Still, I'm not a big image guy, I'm even less of a video guy, so I've never felt compelled to look into media support in Friendica myself. I've even resorted to post pictures on my Twitter account which would be mirrored on Friendica.
Thank you so much! This is exactly the kind of though exchange I was looking for.
I am not that much in media myself, what is driving me is that I would love to motivate many of my real life contacts to leave commercial platforms for the very reasons we are all know too well.
And I started talking to them already. What I learned so far is, as I elaborated above, they use Instagram / TikTok and so on to "show" their lives but to their own "handpicked" groups.
For me, it is desirable to offer such people a place in the Fediverse. Where they are not subject to advertising and data exploitation.
So I am looking at the Fediverse and its applications at the moment, asking my self: "What might be required that the Fediverse, in terms of an alternative to commercial social media, will be a welcoming and attractive place for all the good people outside, especially when they do not care about the technology itself too much?"
@Marek Bachmann :friendica: I'm envious of driven people like you. I, on the other hand, don't hope to convert anyone, so most tasks I've been working on have been revolving around my own usage. My own usage of the software, and my own usage of the codebase, for which I've proposed several structure changes, most of them are still ongoing a few years in.
I do enjoy the fact that these tasks have also been beneficial for other people, but this is not my main focus. Although you can get me to do stuff outside of my comfort zone if you bug me enough on Signal, just ask @Kristof Körner .
Finally, I have a soft spot for assisting other developers, as you've probably noticed. Even when I'm not particularly active, I will make sure that motivated people are getting timely answers and reviews and feedback because motivation and goodwill are precious resources not to be squandered.
Yes, of course I see what I can do. Perhaps the “positive” is that I am neither a backend nor frontend developer, but more of a data scientist by profession. So it would hardly make any difference where I start to familiarize myself.
WOW, that's really cool and exactly my point when I say "great for a computer scientist, but not for the general non-technical public".
It's a great example of what my thoughts were when starting this thread:
I was under the impression (which could obviously be wrong!) that there are mainly tech and privacy enthusiasts at the Fediverse these days (Mastodon is a slight exception as it has become a sanctuary for Twitter users is).
That's perfectly fine, but in my experience, tech people tend to design a "world" for their needs, unintentionally excluding "non-tech people".
In my opinion, technology and science should serve all people and that developers and scientists have some responsibility for it. Please don't get me wrong here, this is no... mehr anzeigen

In my opinion, technology and science should serve all people and that developers and scientists have some responsibility for it. Please don't get me wrong here, this is not meant to be a moral appeal, let alone a personal criticism of anyone associated with Fediverse.
In fact, I'm not at all altruistic when I talk about any kind of responsibility. Because offering my contacts who still use commercial networks today an adequate alternative in the Fediverse is my contribution to a Fediverse that meets my needs.
Mastodon posts containing text and an image can be shared to Friendica, and the image is displayed but the text is not. Likes, shares and replies work, but could be socially risky to use as the uns...

I have a couple of test user accounts for developing, and it is a little bit cumbersome that I can't delete a test account directly but have to wait (a week or so) until it is finally deleted.
@Raroun @Marek Bachmann :friendica: I don't know if that has unwanted side effects, such as warnings or even errors. I would wait for normal deletion and then purge them continue with testing like test12345 and so.
I had an issue with the „move account“ feature in Friendica that doesn’t work. In my case it created users that didn’t even showed up in the user overview. Deleting them solved my issue. Anyway ist probably more safe to wait a week.
Attached: There was no text after the [img] tag and as a result the image was extracted from the body and added to a separate data structure called "attachments".
Both images in your posts are attached, you can see this because they are displayed in your wonderfully crafted image grid.
Then, summing it up: I just definitely do NOT have the issue that clicking only work in a specific column. But I think I should stop right now complaining about NOT having a problem for my karma.

@Grischa @Marek Bachmann :friendica: No, it just piggybacks off of it. I didn't realize the bdy-attach feature was recent, but then again, I'm always on the edge, so nothing feels recent if it's more than a week old or so.
@Marek Bachmann :friendica: You can see the issue in my code snippet, the first image link has the fancybox class, but the second image link doesn't, which fails to bring up the gallery when clicking on it.
Einladung zur Eröffnung der Ausstellungsreihe „50 Jahre Architektur – Stadtplanung – Landschaftsplanung an der Universität Kassel“ am 13.12. um 18 Uhr Mehr dazu: https://www.uni-kassel.de/fb06/oeffentliche-veranstaltungen/jubilaeumsausstellungen 2023 feiert der Fachbereich sein 50jähriges Bestehen und nimmt das zum Anlass, mit einer Ausstellungsreihe kritisch forschend auf seine eigene Geschichte zurückzublicken. Die zehn Ausstellungen werden von verschiedenen Fachgebieten in Zusammenarbeit mit Studierenden organisiert.
Weil man durch Selberdenken immer auf das gleiche (richtige) Ergebnis kommt. Wärend wir Mainstreamsklaven immer auf das gleiche (falsche) Ergebnis kommen.
das nennt sich Objektivität. Wenn alle so denken wie ich, dann ist das objektiv wahr. Wenn alle anders denken als ich, dann sind das lediglich subjektive Meinungen.
Das ist das Echo eines kleinen Rauschen im Hintergrund. Dieses Rauschen flüstert den eigentlichen Leerdenkern etwas ein und dann denken sie das sie eine eigene, selbstständige und gültige Meinung hätten. Dieses Rauschen nehmen seltsamerweise und nachgewiesener Weise nur Leerdenker wahr. Menschen, die tatsächlich sich mit Meldungen befassen und diese von allen Seiten beleuchten, hören das nicht.
Wenn ich mitkriege, dass Menschen an Astrologie glauben, sinken sie instant in meiner Achtung. Esoterik ist kein Kavaliersdelikt, sagte Stefanie Sargnagel mal.
Woran können die Kids denn noch glauben? An die Politiker, die Ihnen die Lebensgrundlage unter dem Hintern wegverscherbeln oder an die Kirche, wo sie sich vorsichtshalber keiner Person mehr weniger als 10 Meter annähern sollten.
selbst bei tinder ist das Sternzeichen eine der ersten Sachen, die angegeben werden 😭 das ist sogar noch eine schlimmere Seuche als diese komischen pseudowissenschaftlichen "Persönlichkeitstypen"kürzel
Millennials who see no contradiction between using astrology and believing in science are fuelling a resurgence of the practice, Christine Smallwood writes.
@BenteliciousArt Mein bester Freund zur Ausbildungszeit wurde mal nach Aszendent und Sternzeichen gefragt, als die Fragende erfuhr, das beides Skorpion ist, hat sie ihn angefaucht "Mit dir will ich NICHTS!! Zu tun haben!!", drehte sich um und ging weg. Mein Kumpel so: "... ??!!"
@MelanieGywer MEL ICH BIN AUCH BEIDES SKORPION und ich erzähle das Leuten die sich damit auseinandersetzen immer sofort weil die dann komplett abgeschreckt sind hahahaha
Richtig, es ist der dicke fette Sargnagel der verbliebenen Resrationalität. Das traute sich Frau Sragnagel nur nicht so zu sagen, wegen möglicher zu kritisierender Stilfragen ihres Namens wegen, von wegen zu platt und so.
Ich hatte mal eine kennengelernt, mit der ich mich gut verstanden habe, die aber nichts mehr mit mir zu tun haben wollte, nachdem sie mein Sternzeichen erfahren hat. Wahrscheinlich besser so... 😉 #DerApotheker 🥷
Meine Erzeugerin glaubte an den Mist. Ich bin Widder und sie dichtete mir des wegen Charakterzüge an, die ich gar nicht besitze. Weil ihre Mutter ebenfalls Widder war und sich beide nicht gut verstanden, hasste sie mich regelrecht und ließ nix aus, um mich irgendwie zu vergleichen oder bei Kollegen, Bekannten und Freunden schlecht zu machen. Muss man sich mal reinziehen. Eine Mutter, die ihr Kind regelrecht hasst, weils irgendwie das falsche Sternzeichen hat...🤦
Is it a general behavior that when I interact with a post, e.g. to like a reply, the site scrolls up to the root of the thread? This is very annoying when I want to read through replies and comment / like on my way through. It requires a lot of scrolling through the same content over and over again.
Is this an issue with the code, or does it depend on the used browser?
@Marek Bachmann :friendica: This usually has to do with the automatic collapse of the post content. When a like or a comment is submitted, the whole thread is asynchronously regenerated, and if the dimensions of the new threads aren't the same as the existing thread, browsers adjust the scrolling according to factors unknown to me.
From this function's perspective, you are "to blame" for many code lines
