I tried translating something before posting it to the same language (Thai) and apparently nobody understood what I was talking about. But enough people understood English, so at least some people would have understood me if I just posted it in English. The others could try translating.

Responding in English, if this is your language, is not Anglo domination. A lot of people learn English as a second language, so many know it. If you translate to Japanese and post it, then when people translate it to English, or Spanish, whatever, it will make no sense whatsoever.

When I traveled to France, a Middle Eastern family came into the restaurant and asked for the English menu. They couldn’t read the French menu. But they knew enough English. That’s when I realized that restaurants in France offered English menus, not for Westerners, but because more people in the world were likely to understand it rather than French.

I post in English. Translating from English to Spanish is better than English to Japanese to Spanish.

I’m so glad you pointed this out. I did not have this enabled on mine and I forgot about this option completely. I just enabled it.

Yes!

I have a Peertube server, and I’ve requested to follow tilvids, and they denied my request, and they also do not follow my Peertube server. I think one issue with tilvids may be that they essentially choose not to federate, and therefore you won’t find much because of this.

I just searched for “Gaming” on my Peertube server and I seem to get a non-ending list of servers. Unfortunately, one column wide, but a lot. When I search for King’s Quest, I am also getting a seemingly unending stream of videos.

I follow every Peertube server I can that is clearly not fascist, primarily NSFW, NSFL, etc.

Maybe you just need to find a server that is more federated with other Peertube servers.

Yep. A “private” message where the recipient is listed in the message is a DM in Mastodon. It will only be delivered to the mentioned person.

I use Firefox. I don’t have this issue. FWIW.

I’m not trying to sell it. It is what it is. I’m just providing information about Friendica for those interested. I know I was always curious about it.

Nope. Locked inside a VPC with only one VPS allowed to communicate with it.

BTW, there is a community that you can join from Lemmy, Piefed, or MBIN, that supports my-place.social: https://feddit.online/c/my_place_social

Friendica doesn’t use the “!” notation. This is only a notation that a Lemmy, Piefed, or MBIN instance understands.

Friendica instead uses the familiar account notation used by Mastodon, Sharkey, Misskey, etc. It sees the Lemmy community as a user that is also a group.

If you want to follow, for example, the “asklemmy” community at lemmy.world, in the “Add New Contact” box, just enter : asklemmy@lemmy.world, and then click the “Connect” button, and it will find it, and you can follow it like any other account. Friendica will recognize it as a “Group”, as opposed to an individual account, and it should show up in your Groups section.

Let me know if this works.

Yes, please report it. As mentioned by catloaf, speaking as an Admin, there’s no way for an Admin to know about the abuse in any community/magazine unless someone reports it. Reports are very appreciated.

You’ve ascended! You’re now part of the real world!

I have a Mastodon, Friendica, Peertube, and a PieFed instance. I’m an Admin.

Let me make sure I understand. You are asking whether I would care if you were using my server, and you asked a different server Admin to remove your data from their server (and probably ban you on that server)?

If this is what you are asking, I personally wouldn’t give it any thought. It’s your data. If you don’t want it on some other server, then you certainly have that right. I frankly don’t think any Admin would have a problem with this. Even the opposite would be fine. If someone asked me to remove their data that came in remotely.

I might even be impressed that you are enforcing and thinking about your rights to privacy and your right to control your own data.
