Hello @Friendica Developers
I was off line for a bit and seem to be slowly restoring activity.
I just want to check that my messages are reaching this group.
Thanks

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
Thanks
My current account is just a user.
How does one go about making a "group" or an "organization"?
Thanks
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.
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/2026/03/1β¦
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:)
A major freezing rain storm is hitting the Montreal area Wednesday, bringing dangerous conditions, widespread closures and the potential for significant ice accumulation across southern Quebec.News Staff (CityNews Montreal)
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

Hello every one. I am slowly getting acquantied as to how to use Friendica. It is coming back
I was able to add my next user in the Moderation section, @Tobias .
Then, after created, there wa sno way that I could see, to create a password. Is there a way?
Otherwise, Isuppose I need to reset the password by trying to lgo in right?
Then, that brings be to my next step. I need ot set up the email server. Can friendica send email out of the box? Or, need configuration?
Thanks
Joseph

I have a mail server on another local VM that I want to use. How can I tell Friendica to use my local server?
Once set up, I can get the welcome emails to get sent out.
Thanks!

Without knowing anything at all about your setup: Be very careful when using a local server as an outgoing mailserver.
Both Microsoft and Google are extremely picky when it comes to receiving mails from servers that are unknown to them, and they will routinely throw your emails into the unwanted mail folder if your server does not satisfy their requirements (DMARC, SPF, MX, whatnot).
If you have access to a relay server at Google or similar, using that would definitely be a better way.
Yes, I know - but principles are really not worth much if your new users never get their welcome emails...
I set these up already, thanks for he idea! Too many issues in the past, and I learned:)
POint taken. I use a third party mail relay service. I had the same issue that you speak of, so I was forced to use a 3rd party. Thanks for the reminder
I instald the add on. Ihere is a config, but I am not uite sure where it is.
Where do I fund the config file? It says: config/someconfigfile
where is that file located? I can reach it from th eGUI,or this is a command line excersize?
Thanks

Question,? if I make this change, will be permanent even after I upgrade to a newer version via docker?
yes, great. If not, if there a way to configure the phpmailer another way to be more long term configure?
Thanks
Joseph
This is an option, yes. We will see if any other comments by others my give new ideas.
Thanks!!
Just checking to see if there is any one else with ideas on how to make the email server config pernemant so that it will not be reset by an update. Ideas?
@utzer @Michael πΊπ¦ @Tobias Ernst
Maybe ask in another group?
Thanks
Joseph
I was able to work out my phpmailer and it is working. One step closer to getting my site running well.
Thanks

Looking forward to spring:)
Hello all,
I am back after a bit of an absence of trying my hand at a friendica site. Previous attempts failed, but we'll try again:)
I want to be able to make a new user for my site. There does not seem to be a manual way to do it from the admin section.
I do seem to remember an add on, or some feature that we could add that would allow this. Does this (still) exist?
Thanks for any pointers.
Joseph
