Friendica beginner help megathread
Hello, everyone! As we know what Zuck's place is going through, I decided to create a post with all the resources I found online all these years I've been on this place, in a bid to help more people board. Here we go:

(6 videos)The Future of Social is Here: a Show and Tell (part 3: Friendica) by @_elenaThe Beginner’s guide to Friendica by @tiono less important, The Friendica Wiki also available under the help section of your instance (click on your pic and name on the top-right where you're logged in -> help)The @helpers group for any questions or issues (yes, I intended to post this here).All of these should be more comprehensive than this guide.
Short Q&A with the most common problems
How do I post stuff?
Easy, on your profile, click the button in the top right that looks like this:
A pop-up window will open, and you can type anything. Make sure to set the appropriate permissions by clicking the tab at the top. If you want your post to be public then choose public, if you don't, select limited/private and add the exceptions or add who can see it. Make sure you properly select these permissions, because you cannot change them later. If you format your post (see below), you can also check the preview pane to see how your post will look. This also applies for comments.
How to format my text?
Friendica uses BBCodes for text formatting like bold text, italic text, underlined text and many others. You can find more example on the usage of it in the Wiki or under https://your-instance-address/help/bbcode. You don't have to style your text, but you can do some nice stuff with it. You can also get suggestions for formatting by typing [ and selecting an option from the drop-down menu, or typing out your option to narrow your search. But do check the wiki, though. Generally, BBCode looks like [option]your-text-here[/option].
If there is any text where you don't want to add any tags on by accident, slide it between these tags: [noparse][/noparse].
How to upload an image (and how to add alt-text to it)
Just drag&drop it into the composing page. Simple. Easy. No frills.
Also, to note is that you can also re-use an image you previously uploaded if you go to the Browser tab in the compose window.
Finally, you can link to any image you find online, without downloading&reuploading it in the 1st place. Right-click an image, click "copy image link", then go to your post and type (of course, you paste your image link instead, between the img tags). This is generally how images are displayed via BBCode.
I personally use an external site to host my media and link it this way, whenever there is something I want on the internet for as long as possible in order to save some space on my instance. I mostly use postimages.org, but I also used
You can also add Alt-Text to your image if, instead, you type . Alt-Text is generally an image description that is displayed when the image fails to load/before loading, and is useful to visually impaired people using screen reading software which can read this out loud. The latter is the reason why it is highly recommended by many people all across the Fediverse (not just on Friendica).
How to upload a video or other media
Just like you do with an image. However, the video will be posted under Browser, and then the "Files" icon:
Select your file, and it will be posted with an tag.
However, there's currently no user facing way to delete these as yet, so feel free to upload them on any other external service and share the direct link to the audio/video if you care about this.
You can use the tags and for that.
How do I make a poll/vote at polls
Polls are currently supported by a few Fediverse platforms, but not by Friendica fully, right now (you can see them, but you cannot vote on them and create them).
You can again use an external service for creating polls, such as poll-maker or Strawpoll.
How to post to a group
Groups on Friendica, as well as any other ActivityPub platform, are generally just some special accounts that automatically boost/reshare whatever post you added while tagging them. Therefore, just create a regular post and tag them with the ! or @ signs (one of these tags should suffice). The former one creates a post that is visible on the group but unlisted wherever else (i.e. in a public feed). The latter takes account of your permission settings. You will see how you can find groups somewhere below.
How to find various people
There are multiple ways; One is to use any of the established lists:
Finally, you can also add yourself into the aforementioned Friendica Directory or to your server's one by going to Settings>Account>Security and Privacy Settings and check any of these two options:
This way anyone can find you according to your interests.
Finally, you can also follow hashtags to get posts from people that also share your interests directly in your feed, and then follow them from there.
If you want to have more privacy, you can check the following box below:
This limits the visibility of your content to only instances that are made aware of it, and people that have access to it based on your privacy settings. Unlogged users will not be allowed to find you.
How do I find groups?
Same as with regular people. There are multiple lists:
How do I use the search? Is it any useful beyond just searching for people and groups and other accounts?
Yes. Check the Wiki for more information.
Are there any mobile apps?
Yes there are. From my personal experience, Raccoon for Friendica gave me the best results. Relatica is also a great option, as well as Fedilab (the latter is more of a Mastodon client, but you can disable the display of reply in the feeds and enable BBCode - fiddle out in the settings). There are other apps for various platforms as well. If you don't find any of them fitting, you can just access your Friendica server in your browser (e.g. friendica.world, nerdica.net etc.). It's very responsive and easy to use.
I hope this Q&A covers the most common aspects of using Friendica
Bonus: Text colorsOne aspect that hasn't really been touched on in the wiki is the colors. You can have text in any color if you type the text like this [color=color_name_or_value]your text here[/color]. Hex values are accepted, however there are also some human readable names that can be used (based on this thread):

Imo, #Friendica will have a better adoption if it will also have a theme that looks like the #Facebook's one.
For those who don't know, you can also change how your interface looks by going to Settings > Display and then the 1st two sections. The problem is that there are generally only two options:
This is clearly not ideal when people are looking for a more minimalistic interface, that looks more like the one brought up by platforms like Xitter, Reddit or even current day Facebook.
I found two repositories on GitHub with some Friendica themes (here and here), but they seem way more outdated as well (even though some of them seem cool even today). trom.tf also has some cool themes that they made, starting from the default Frio one.
Given that themes can be selected by a user from a simple drop-down in the settings, I think having a more Facebook-like theme at hand would really be a boon to Friendica's adoption given these times, what do you think?

In 1402, the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid was killed in a war between the Ottoman Empire and the Turco-Mongol empire (also known as Timurid), led by the emir Timur Lenk. After his death, the former became the battleground for Bayezid's 4 sons in what became known as the Ottoman Interregnum or the Ottoman Civil War. This war lasted close to 11 years (10 years, 11 months, 2 weeks and 1 day to be more precise), and ended with the victory of the Timurid-supported Mehmed Çelebi.
This was not an uncommon story for Europe or pretty much any place in the world at that time - rulers usually stayed in power for life, and when they died, a civil war would ensue between two or multiple pretenders (usually the sons of the defunct, but not only) in order to win the throne and become the heir of the crown. Sometimes, the civil war would simply have no end, and the state would split for good between them, like in the case of the Carolingian Empire.
Luckily, democracy made it possible for us to no longer need to mess our heads and countries with this. The rulers would be forbidden to govern for their entire lives, or they would be stripped of all their executive powers in favor of someone that would face the same interdiction. The time duration of someone holding that function would be split into multiple limited terms, and the candidates for that function would need to rather convince the people to choose them, instead of imposing themselves in front of the people by force. This process was perfected over time, and was called #election or #voting.
Voting allows regular people like you and me to opt for the #leader they want in power instead of abandoning their jobs, their family, their regular lives, in order to fight for years in the name of the said leader - a fight that would often also turn deadly for themselves. So every single person that wishes the said candidate would be murdered is a person that would like to return to the above status-quo.
The shooter who tried to kill #DonaldTrump last night, was one of them. He (and whoever supported him, if that was the case, even if it was a #Republican) wanted to return to a climate of justified #politicalviolence with the purpose of, at least, eliminating the #candidate he did not like. His fight also turned deadly for himself, being shot by one of the snipers that had the mission of protecting the candidate.
Whichever side you're on, whatever you believe, political violence has no place in a political debate. If it happens often enough for a candidate, then the winner of the election would be more incentivised to resort to as many protections as they can in order feel safe. From this point on, things like persecutions against political opponents or critics and powergrab are just a stone throw away, while #democracy becomes a fading candlelight.
