Time to move to a new instance/server. Been selfhosting this one man instance for a while now, and while it's nice to be in control, it's also a bit lonely. However, the migration feature at #Friendica just doesn't seem to work, so I guess step one will be to look for alternatives...
Zen Postbox Add-On Update!
The Zen Postbox add-on has been updated to version 1.3
This fixes an issue where the postbox styling was not shown sitewide or when users were not logged into the server. Now if either of the add-ons is enabled the postboxes should be shown on that server everywhere, even to users who are not logged in.
The add-ons have also been updated to make sure they work with the 2025.7 Release Candidate development version.
Again, the difference between Postbox and Zen Postbox is the first one only includes the stylesheet to show them. You have to manually add the BBcode to your posts. The "Zen" one adds a button to the Compose modal to let you pick from a list and automatically adds the BBcode to your post.
Sorry, you use the wrong Software for the fediverse...
You definitely need something with more characters per posting... or no limit... and embedded pictures.
Friendly greetings from #Friendica
Postbox & Zen Postbox Add-On Updates!
New releases fix a couple of problems. The add-ons should now work with both the stable and development releases.
Zen Postbox 1.2 [Download] - this is the one that adds a button to the message composer. This release fixes the missing images for the animated backgrounds.
Postbox 1.2 [Download] - this just adds the stylesheet, it doesn't add any UI.
Thanks to @Kevin for helping me troubleshoot it!
Manchmal braucht es etwas Abstand
Ich finde schon lange den Abstand zwischen Text und Bildern zu klein. Das klebt geradezu aufeinander. Nicht schön ...
Ein schneller Behelf ist es, dazwischen ein sogenanntes geschütztes Leerzeichen zu platzieren. Funktioniert natürlich auch an anderen Stellen.
Das erzeugt man mit ALT+0160 auf dem Numpad.
Problem gelöst. :))
It feels a little ironic to be posting this on the very platform that it’s talking about.
Thanks to @_elena
for the effort and time taken to put this together.
Share. Share. Share.
And before anyone says “this is YouTube” - of course, the reach needs to be as far and wide; and like it or not, YouTube is far and wide!
If you know anyone who's tired
of commercial social media,
share this with them.
If you know anyone who's curious
about Mastodon and the Fediverse,
share this with them.
If you know anyone who hasn't
watched it yet, share this with them.
Thank you @_elena for this incredible video about our community.
I hope everyone everywhere gets to watch it

📺 Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media

Looks like I picked the wrong week to start using Friendica.
Crashes across all interfaces, takes forever to load. Maybe, if you collapsed all comments by default, just maybe it wouldn't be crunching so hard. Bluesky integration fails completely. Oh well, seemed perfect for me, in the abstract. I learned quite a lot about the potential. Think I just need to make Mastodon my one stop-shop instead.
I just wrote a huge entry about the Fediverse here. It is a guide with all sorts of tips and explanations, and links to many useful pages. Please feel free to share it with anyone who may be interested in joining. Note, though, that I am not the type to care if you're on a mainstream platform or not. Thi sis just meant as a guide for those who may need it, not as a way of bashing those who use non-Fediverse platforms. As a side note, Dreamwidth is one of my favourite sites on the Internet, precisely because of its wonderful accessibility.
