Ich habe eine #Friendica Instanz für die Region #Nordhessen auf
https://kassel.social
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!

A thought about the #Fediverse and the origin of #Internet
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." (source)
And from my point of view, the term "hierarchical bureaucratic government" also holds for "#centralized #commercial #social #networks".

How does a friendica instance get the "contact id" of a visitor? / Need SQL help
Hi !Friendica Developers !Friendica Support

Now I think that I found at least two issues:
First:
The
allow_cid filed in the photo table seems not correctly be set. For an image shared with followers only, the result is: select `accessible`,allow_cid,allow_gid from photo where `resource-id` = '100228443963b9a03d31378698994057';
+------------+-----------+-----------+
| accessible | allow_cid | allow_gid |
+------------+-----------+-----------+
| 1 | <3> | <~> |
| 1 | <3> | <~> |
| 1 | <3> | <~> |
+------------+-----------+-----------+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_cidfiled in the photo table? This would make by debugging efforts much easier .
Thank you very much, helping me to support

This "remote id" detection is some kind of black magic that I hadn't looked at for some time. Concerning the "allow_cid" and the other values: There is no easy command changing this.
Concerning the issue: The photo permission is set here: https://github.com/friendica/friendica/blob/develop/mod/item.php#L241
We have to have a look at the permissions when creating a forum post.

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.

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.

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.

Why is a E-Mail notfication for new registration only possbile when registrations are unrestricted open?
@Friendica Admins @Friendica Developers @Friendica Support
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.
Thank you!

Sounds like a good excuse to build Thunderbird an official Fediverse extension.
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.
Great, that covers the server part. Now how about integrating a client into Thunderbird, that would be cool too!

achja, da es einer aussprechen muß: das ist doch letztlich eine unterform von galileo gambit?
Daraus kann aber auch eine Unterhaltung mit sehr interessantem Perspektivwechsel entstehen.
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.
98% dieser "unpopular Opnion"-Sachen sind eh nur Fassade, um ein Arschloch gegen jemanden oder etwas zu sein.

Not working?

How is the speed of Friendica these days? Has it improved at all in the last year?

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).

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.
Danke Leute !
Danke Leute !
Jetzt muß ich aber erst mal gucken was alles neu ist
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. :(

The changelog states the following:
Unfortunately I cannot find any hint about the change? Is this true or has this hint been carried over from the previous update where such changes were described in detail?
@Friendica News
NOTE: The Apache2 rewrite rule in the .htaccess-dist has been changed.
The change has to be applied manually to the existing .htaccess.

Interesting!
First I already have done this. I can even remembver doing it, but not when. This must have been during the previous update. It is only in .htaccess-dist and not .htaccess - right?
And second, where can I find how to do it? Again as stated above, I already did this but can no longer find the howto ... must be me getting older

Ah, yes! Understood. No worries, I just copied the .htaccess-dist file over .htaccess since I never changed that one myself. Thank you for clearing that up! @Hypolite Petovan

I'd say 8.1 is supported, not sure why you kept 8.0.
@Friendica News
@utzer ~Friendica~ You still had deprecated notice messages a few days before the release, I wouldn't say it's done and dusted.
@Hypolite Petovan ah well, I probably had them with 8.0 too.

@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.

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.

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.
