Language filter issue

@Friendica Admins
@Friendica Developers
@Friendica Support

I recently installed the language filter that allows me to display th content of the languages that I choose.

I chose en, fr (English and French).

It shows the content of all English content, but still hides the content for French content.

Why might this be? How might be able to fix this?

Thanks

Thanks for the comment. I did not really pay attention to the format of the languages,

I put:
en, fr

But, when I looked at the setting page, I see that the example seems to be: en,fr

No spaces

I"ll try that.

Menu explination?

@Friendica Admins
@Friendica Support
@Friendica Developers

Is there a place(maybe the wiki) that explain what we will find under each icon of the menu?

It is not 100% clear.

Mail is mail calendar is calendar.

But, the icon with 9 dots/squares? The 3 circles one inside the other?(and the sub menus?)

Thanks

Joseph

The icons recently changed so I'm not sure what you refer to with the three circles (maybe it's your Contacts list), but the two timeline pages are the Network page and the Community page. In the next version the Network page is the new Home page. In your version Home is likely just a link to your own profile.

In general, the Network page is the main timeline page, and the Community page is a light, more focused version thereof. With the Network page you can apply various filters to pick what kind of content to show, including selecting the channels "Global community" and "Local community".

On the "Community" page you only have the options "Local community" and "Global community". In the settings one can also make the Community page hidden, which I'm personally inclined to think should become default, because it would simplify a quite complex platform, and because every feature of Community is already available by just selecting the proper options on the Network page.

features/improvements on basic install - to welcome/attract new users

I have my basic instal up and running.

I want to open it up to other users. But, I want to make improvements.

I know that there are many features in friendica. Where to start?

My site has virtually no traffic. How t you add relays, and also mix organic posts and get them to grow?

How to make and nurture forums(maybe wrong term here). I want create topics that might be of local interest, but also ones that might be country or world wide interest.

Just trying to get ideas of what to look at and work on.

Thanks

Joseph

Just a quick follow up.

I am just trying to find ways to use built in features to make my friendica more usable and more interesting.

Any ideas?

Thanks everyone!

Best upgrade path - friendica 2024-12 to what? Using docker

I am using docker and I want to upgrade my friendica.

My site uses 2024.12

I have seen before version 2025 on different sites, but I only find 2026.01 as the oldest version.

I need a suggestion as to what version to upgrade to. The latest stable version? Or, only 2026.01, and then upgrade to the latest after?

Thanks

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

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

Thanks

@heluecht
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...

@Joseph Hogan @Michael 🇺🇦 @utzer @Raroun I can only share my solution: I did not configure anything for mail inside friendica at all. I simply installed nullmailer on the Linux VM in which my Friendica instance runs, and configured it to use some external e-mail provider with SMTP over SSL and my credentials with this provider. The result is that the mails come in with from-addresses that one cannot reply to (www-data@ the actual hostname that runs my friendica server, which is not in public DNS), but so far, since I run a single user instance, this does not bother me.

New Users - manual add

!Friendica Admins

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
