Minnesota - Quebec


I had the opportunity to go back to my roots and return Minnesota to see family.

While the weather is not perfect, it is decent enough to enjoy outdoor activities.

Almost time to go home, but will enjoy my remaining days:)

Spring is springing - Day hikes in Quebec


Things are warming up. I think of bike rides, frisbees and food hikes through the woods.

I do not get out as much as I'd like but will try again this summer meet others re get out on the trials.

I am in Montreal and have slowly visited various trails in the Greater Montreal are and beyond. Ideas?

Piano on my MInd


Hi there

I've been trying to rearrange my piano routine to come up with a recipe that gets me to where I want go. I've played and practiced just for the sake of practicing. Now, I want to build up a catalog of songs that I can use when with others. Small family gatherings or with friends, or other events.

Does any one else play for fin like this? I like playing piano, and this will allow me to have a few songs ready all the time, as I learn/relearn my favorite music.

My other goal is to find others with whom I could play duets with. This have been a challenge, but hopefully this will happen.

Hiking and/et Randonnees!


FR : Montréal / Québec — je recommence à sortir plus souvent en nature. J’utilise AllTrails pour trouver des idées, mais je suis ouvert à de nouvelles aventures. Vous me recommandez quoi comme coins nature (parcs, sentiers, belvédères), à Montréal ou ailleurs au Québec? Bonus si c’est accessible en transport en commun ou en courte drive.

Je cherche surtout des sorties de 1 à 3 heures (mais je prends aussi les suggestions plus longues).
EN : Montréal / Quebec — I’m getting back into spending more time outdoors. I use AllTrails for ideas, but I’m totally open to new adventures. What nature spots (parks, trails, viewpoints) would you recommend in Montréal or elsewhere in Quebec? Bonus if it’s transit-friendly or a short drive.

I’m mostly looking for 1–3 hour outings (but I’m happy to hear longer suggestions too).

Directory listings


@Friendica Support @Friendica Tips

I was looking at the directory and was wondering how does someones profile end up in there? Is i the friendica network "sees' you after a certain amount of time? Individual server "report" their users?

Also, how does a profile get listed as organization or group? I'd like to put a business and group on our friendica.

Thanks

Joseph

This "organisation" or "group" is the account type of your profile. And in your privacy settings you can define whether you want to be visible in the directory or not.

Thanks

My current account is just a user.

How does one go about making a "group" or an "organization"?

Email function for sending email from site is running


While it is still new, the site is slowly taking shape. I was able to- set up the outgoing email server so the site can not send messages to reset passwords, and also to create new accounts.

I am looking to maybe start a new Freindica discussion group, and also maybe improve the landing page for the site. I might also look at adding a relay. I read some where that for small sites,up to 5000 users, there might not be enough local traffic to have enough to read. After that, they you likely you not need a relay.



Freezing rain less bad than expected - in Quebec


The other day we had an upcoming freezing rain warning. We've seen the bad effects of them in the past with downed trees and power outages for days and weeks.

Here is a local article:

montreal.citynews.ca/2026/03/1…

This was was expected and the authorities planned well in advance. We were expecting power outages. But, while there were outages, a lot less than expected.\

We were al happy about this:)



Log in page - modify?


@utzer

Hi there. How have you been?

I remember long ago, back when I had my old friendica server, you post an idea or code about how to modify the long in page.

Is this code still round, or do you have any helpful advice to modify the log in page? I will ask the groups, but I recall your idea back them.

Thanks

Joseph

in reply to Joseph Hogan

Hi @Joseph Hogan, I think it is possible to place a HTML file in the basefolder for this. But I don't remember the details. See here wiki.friendi.ca/docs/initicalc… and a very good explanation in German can be found here joolsportal.de/neues-design-be…


Another cold day in Montreal


Winter is coming to an end, but Jack Frost is dragging his heels. Plunged back to -15 last night. Rising to -13 today:) Heat wave:)

Looking forward to spring:)
