For example, if I put all FOSS related accounts into a list called FOSS, then I can open that list to see all the posts of FOSS related accounts. 06:37 < fikabot> 💬 06:37 < fikabot> 💬 Groups in friendica seems more like a privacy setting where you only want some people to see your posts, also I think its public. 06:38 < fikabot> 💬 Please see my screenshots about how you can filter your timeline and how you can put your contact into categories. Or even better: feel free to register on a Friendica instance and try it yourself! 06:41 < fikabot> 💬 I have registered on social.trom.tf, some of your screenshots are in different language I don't understand 😅 06:43 < fikabot> 💬 Registering on an instance where people speak a language you do not can be an excellent method of learning a new language! 😉 06:51 < fikabot> 💬 > <@bkil:grin.hu> Please see my screenshots about how you can filter your timeline and how you can put your contact into categories.

So anyone can send a message to the group ? I don't fully understand this group thing, and I don't know if it can used as substitute for the list feature in mastodon. 07:02 < fikabot> 💬 A so called `Friendica Forum` is very similar to a forum, mailing list a matrix room, yes. 07:03 < fikabot> 💬 There were also addons for integrations with XMPP for real time chat with your friends, but due to low demand, the just got deprecated few weeks ago. 07:08 < fikabot> 💬 > <@futureisfoss:matrix.trom.tf> If I add someone to a group in friendica, will they be notified of it ? 07:08 < fikabot> 💬 07:08 < fikabot> 💬 Is the group feature in friendica private like in mastodon lists, or will my contacts get notified if they were added to a group ? 07:13 < fikabot> 💬 Contact groups can only be seen by you, who sets them. I can hardly any system where this would not be the case (except Facebook, but we all know that's a joke!) 07:13 < fikabot> 💬 I'm testing out this group thing in mastodon, and so far it looks similar to lists in mastodon. I don't know about the visibility of it though, is it private or public ? 07:13 < fikabot> 💬 I'm testing out this group thing in friendica, and so far it looks similar to lists in mastodon.

As Friendica and Diaspora both predate Mastodon, I think Mastodon might have been inspired by them and some of their features. 07:16 < fikabot> 💬 Not sure how it looks or works in Mastodon, because I think this feature predated Mastodon.

That sounds less confusing. Even `subset` would be better for this. I myself confused this a lot at the beginning. 07:23 < fikabot> 💬 So groups are in friendica what mastodon users call "lists", its the same functionality basically. Thanks for helping me out with this :) 07:29 < fikabot> 💬 Feel free to look around in the forums: https://forum.friendi.ca/directory Or find friends through the user directory: https://dir.friendica.social/ 07:30 < fikabot> 💬 Feel free to look around in the forums: https://forum.friendi.ca/directory Or make friends through the user directory: https://dir.friendica.social/ 07:36 < fikabot> 💬 Thank you 🙂 07:39 < fikabot> 💬 By the way, the forum directory also has a search filter that lists third party forums: https://dir.friendica.social/forum --- Log closed mar mar 01 00:00:52 2022
