Credits go to @kmh for creating this style. It comes in both a light and dark version (check the links for usage instructions).
If you don’t want to fiddle with code and stuff, loma.ml has already installed it server-wide, and should be available straight away for new accounts (If not, go to Settings>Display>General Theme Settings and change it from there. Or follow the guide in any of the links above).
Awesome to see TBH. Friendica is kinda the platform that the Fedi forgot and it might be a better place if it got more love.
yeah, looking at the federation systems it supports is insane and I really want to try it out honestly
from Wikipedia:
Maybe I should ask here. The reason I’m here is because I’m looking for answers to this. As far as the integration with Lemmy goes, how does it work? Is there a ‘Friendica’ instance that anyone using that platform would be posting and interacting from? And in that case, does it play nicely with the other instances?
I’m pretty new here, probably moving to another instance at some point anyway. And I’ve been thinking of looking into these multi purpose platforms that play nicely with others. Because why not have more features and tools to play with, even if I don’t use half of them. It might also fill in nicely for features that are missing here like multicommunities and posting to your own profile.
Also heard of mbin, although an in app search for something like “mbin” seems pretty useless here.
@Zero22xx There are multiple Friendica instances. You can check them in the Friendica Directory (in the servers section) or other more global lists of Fediverse servers like the-federation.info, FediDB etc. Friendica has groups too, but besides the !helpers@forum.friendi.ca (or probably even the !fediversenews@venera.social one) they’re pretty much lacking activity (you’re still free to post anyway, there are plenty of them).
If you need some help, you can also post on the former one by creating a regular post and mentioning the group with “!” or “@”. I have also created a megathread with various resources and a small Q&A (it’s actually vice-versa tbh, since the Q&A took the most space on it, but I digress) in order to get yourself started: https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-2167-82af-600d-9ea129892452
@maegul
Made a quick account there to check things out and not sure if it’s entirely the right fit for the particular use case I had in mind. It’s very much inspired by Facebook obviously, which I was expecting but from what I can tell from a quick look, not the kind of Lemmy integration I was hoping for or imagining.
I’m going to keep an eye on this place though, so that I can start encouraging friends and family to join once it’s easy and attractive (in terms of content) for anyone to join.
@Zero22xx It depends. What use case did you have in mind?
Apologies for the second reply. Just wanted to say that I checked out mbin and it’s probably more up my alley personally.
But, I still have a barely used Facebook account because a lot of people in my country are still on it. And I’m going to see if the rumours are true and try to spread the news about Friendica there, hopefully without my post getting removed or account being banned.
And if / when people from there give Friendica a shot, then I’ll give it a proper shot too with them. It’ll just be used for different things than what I use Lemmy for.
@Zero22xx No worries! Whatever fits you best! :D I’m happy you found a place around here!
Hope Zuck doesn’t create another streisand with this one, like he did with Pixelfed (or maybe I hope he does, idk)
I’ll have a shot with you too. Or maybe two shots. Or maybe whatever gets me to hospital in coma (jk).
Basically I would be spending much more time in Lemmy communities, and I thought Friendica could be something extra on top to supplement it.
So I would like to be able to browse instances and communities and choose what I want to see and participate in. Either by subscribing or curating a feed or two. I don’t see an obvious way to do this from Friendica yet. It seems like here I need to scroll through a pre existing feed and curate it from there.
But please bear in mind, I haven’t explored extensively yet or read the link you shared earlier, although I have saved that post so that I can get back to it later in my day.
And another small thing for me (that can be easily fixed by styles and apps) is no apparent dark mode.
@Zero22xx Friendica is more personal so to say… idk how to put it. It is more like Facebook :D You’ll likely find your way.
Go to Settings>Display>Custom theme settings, then click the drop-down on appearance (should be the second item).
If you’re using the Vier theme instead of Frio, scroll down to Theme settings and select the drop down next to “set style”.
I think lemmy is a bit of the odd one out, so far i can interact between mastodon and pixelfed ok, and I can post from mastodon to lemmy, but in lemmy I can’t really interact with mastodon or pixelfed.
If you want a lot more in on profile I’d check out mastodon, I just don’t really get the Twitter style so I never know how to really use it for memes
