We are very happy to announce the availability of the new stable release of Friendica “Giant Rhubarb” 2023.05. This release contains a security fix of a problem tek-aevl pointed out, we strongly encourage all admins to update their nodes. The highlights of this release are
- the Tumblr connector was improved and an initial bluesky connector was added,
- the search for @-handles was fixed,
- the emoji picker was moved to the core, and
- the display of images in is now done using fancybox by default.
For details, please the CHANGELOG file in the repository.
What is Friendica
Friendica is a decentralized communications platform, you can use to host your own social media server that integrates with independent social networking platforms (like the Fediverse or Diaspora*) but also some commercial ones like Tumblr.
How to Update
Updating from old Friendica versions
If you are updating from an older version than the 2022.12 release, please first update your Friendica instance to that version as it contained some breaking changes.
Pre-Update Procedures
Ensure that the last backup of your Friendica installation was done recently.
Using Git
Updating from the git repositories should only involve a pull from the Friendica core repository and addons repository, regardless of the branch (stable or develop) you are using. Remember to update the dependencies with composer as well. So, assuming that you are on the stable branch, the commands to update your installation to the 2023.05 release would be
cd friendica
git pull
bin/composer.phar install --no-dev
cd addon
git pull
If you want to use a different branch than the stable one, you need to fetch and checkout the branch before your perform the git pull.
Pulling in the dependencies with composer will show some deprecation warning, we will be working on that in the upcoming release.
Using the Archive Files
If you had downloaded the source files in an archive file (tar.gz) please download the current version of the archive from friendica-full-2023.05.tar.gz (sha256) and friendica-addons 2023.05.tar.gz (sha256)) and unpack it on your local computer.
As many files got deleted or moved around, please upload the unpacked files to a new directory on your server (say friendica_new) and copy over your existing configuration (config/local.config.php and config/addon.config.php) and .htaccess files. Afterwards rename your current Friendica directory (e.g. friendica) to friendica_old and friendica_new to friendica.
The files of the dependencies are included in the archive (make sure you are using the friendica-full-2023.05 archive), so you don’t have to worry about them.
Post Update Tasks
The database update should be applied automatically, but sometimes it gets stuck. If you encounter this, please initiate the DB update manually from the command line by running the script
bin/console dbstructure update
from the base of your Friendica installation. If the output contains any error message, please let us know using the channels mentioned below.
Please note, that some of the changes to the database structure will take some time to be applied, depending on the size of your Friendica database.
Known Issues
At the time of writing this, none
How to Contribute
If you want to contribute to the project, you don’t need to have coding experience. There are a number of tasks listed in the issue tracker with the label “Junior Jobs” we think are good for new contributors. But you are by no means limited to these – if you find a solution to a problem (even a new one) please make a pull request at github or let us know in the development forum.
Contribution to Friendica is also not limited to coding. Any contribution to the documentation, the translation or advertisement materials is welcome or reporting a problem. You don’t need to deal with Git(Hub) or Transifex if you don’t like to. Just get in touch with us and we will get the materials to the appropriate places.
Thanks everyone who helped making this release possible and have fun!

in reply to super_user_do • • •Sei riuscito ad accedere con feddit? Io ogni volta che provo mi da "Incorrect login", nonostante accedo con password manager e sia certo della correttezza delle credenziali.
EDIT: ho provato anche Lemmur, anch'essa scaricata da F-Droid, ed in questo caso quando cerco di inserire "feddit.it" come istanza non la trova proprio, rendendo impossibile anche solo tentare il login.

Non capisco quale possa essere il problema. Ora come ti sei loggato? Tu @skariko che dici?
Lemmur non è più sviluppato; dovresti usare Jerboa

in reply to TiredInsomniac • • •Parli di Jerboa? Perché Jerboa su Android funziona bene con Feddit, l'ho provata io giusto l'altro giorno. Che versione hai provato? L'ultima è la 0.0.30.
Per quanto riguarda Lemmur invece il progetto purtroppo non è più mantenuto: github.com/LemmurOrg/lemmur

in reply to TiredInsomniac • • •Quando provi a fare il login hai controllato che sia effettivamente feddit.it? Te lo chiedo perché esiste anche feddit.de e magari sovrappensiero non ci si fa caso.
Io ho appena riprovato e mi ha funzionato

in reply to TiredInsomniac • • •No ti confermo che i servizi di Google non c'entrano: utilizzo GrapheneOS senza i servizi di Google e funziona bene.
Ultimo dubbio: di recente avevo sentito di qualcuno che aveva avuto problemi per l'autenticazione perché l'username veniva richiesto case sensitive: in pratica sembra che riconosca le maiuscole e le minuscole. Puoi provare scrivendo: TiredInsomniac mettendo le minuscole e maiuscole uguali?
Nel caso fosse cosi andrebbe senz'altro aperta un'issue su GitHub 😀

Comunque, il mito della crescita infinita è la più grande bugia del capitalismo. Non può esistere nulla di infinito in un mondo finito.
