Activity Hub - Follow Mastodon account?


Hello, I just joined Friendica on social.trom.tf and I'm a little confused.

I thought Friendica was part of Activity Hub but under Protocols I don't see Activity Hub. and when I type a Mastodon account in Search eg my own: ,@Fiona Gregory it doesn't find it.

Should I be able to follow a Mastodon account on Friendica?

in reply to fionag11

Yes Friendica uses the activitypub and more. It is compatible to pretty much any network. What you see there is a filter in case you want to filter the posts based on the protocol ;)

Thanks, Tio! I just tried again to search and follow my Mastodon account, and lo and behold, it now worked and "Activity Pub" has shown up in the list of Protocols 😊

Sorry to shock everyone but no, you do not get a cold from the AC....you do not get it from cold air, air current, drinking cold water, snow, or any of these "cold" things. It is unfortunate that it is called "cold". People are confused by that I guess.

I keep on hearing more and more people complaining that they got a cold from the AC and I want to rip my head off :D. The "cold" is a virus infection. Period.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_c…

Here a short and scientific video about it youtu.be/fyO5AA65h8U

So no, there is no evidence that cold temperatures decrease your immune system's ability to cop with a viral infection, unless you may have hypothermia and then you have more problems than the virus.

I thought this is a myth only found in Romania, where I am from originally, but I've met people from Belgium to South America who believe this.

But, hear me out... What about draft? (not the military one, the "air streaming between open windows" kind)

In Serbia, it's common knowledge that draft is the deadliest thing on God's green Earth.

Sensing a bit of draft on your skin is looking Death in the eye.

Yah I've heard of this eastern european daft....it is deadly. agree!

Being in cold weather can make my nose clogged sometimes, but yeah that's different from an actual viral cold 🤔

Translating any video in Kdenlive automatically - videos.trom.tf/w/f8WsbH7NpNh7U…

This is how you can translate a video from any language into English using Kdenlive. I tested it with a video spoken in 5-6 languages and it did fantastic. You can also use TROMjaro Linux tromjaro.com/ for easy setup and management of your OS in general.

@LautreG OK, I agree with you, but disagree with original author. Yes Google isn't privacy-friendly. That has been proved in many cases, articles and videos. Yet people refuse to believe this.
in reply to Expert Plus 🍀

The original post is all about how google and the like cannot be trusted, since it is a trade-based service.

Two questions


Hi !Friendica Support,
I've only been able to upload 1 photo at a time to Friendica. Is bulk upload available?

The thumbnail that is shown with a link is confusing at best because it is blurred. Is there any way to unblur it?

Thank you!

in reply to Tio

Thanks @Tio. As far as I know, I have no control over, or foreknowledge of, what is used as the thumbnail.

Yes you do not. So it is up to them to put up a proper image.
