Hi all, friendica.au will briefly be down for maintenance tonight sometime between 8pm and 11pm. The work shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes, the server will not be reachable during this time.
I will update this post once the work is finished. Sorry for the inconvenience!
I would recommend the following #PeerTube instances to #VTubers: spectra.video (full package, unlimited video uploads, torrent uploads, link-based uploads, direct uploads, live streaming, very active instance, the only downside is no synchronization), makertube.net (unlimited uploads, link-based uploads, direct uploads, live streaming, very active instance, downsides are no chat in live streams and no torrent uploads), clip.place (500 GB for videos, automatic registration - no need to wait for manual approval of your application, downsides are no torrent uploads and no live streaming)
If you have a Bluesky, Eurosky or other Atmosphere account, you can connect it to friendica.au. Posts from accounts you follow on the Atmosphere network will show in your Friendica timeline and you can interact with them from Friendica.
To set up: 1. In your Bluesky account settings, generate an app password for use with Friendica. 2. On friendica.au, go to Settings -> Social networks -> Atmosphere Import/Export. 3. Click Enable Atmosphere Addon and set other options as desired. Input your Atmosphere handle and the app password you generated in step 1 (do not put in your regular account password, it won't work). Click Save settings.
New posts from your Atmosphere timeline will now show up on Friendica. You can add new Bluesky contacts directly from the Friendica Add new contacts panel and they will be added to your atmosphere account.
If you want to follow people on Bluesky without owning a Bluesky account, you can use Bluesky's RSS feature instead:
1. Find the URL of the Bluesky profile you want to follow (e.g.

Posts from that Bluesky profile will now appear in your Friendica timeline. You won't see replies unless you click the link in the post, and you won't be able to interact with it - but it's a good way to follow Bluesky accounts anonymously.
Slavs have a saying: "out of fire into flame" Why bounce between the rapidly deteriorating #Twitch and the long-since-rotten #YouTube? Better to switch (and bring your audience to) to the free alternatives! Experience true enlightenment with the power, functionality, user-friendliness, and diversity of #PeerTube. The total independence of #Owncast. The absolute integration of #ATproto: all your readers on #Bluesky will instantly become your viewers on #Stream.place without lifting a finger. The full force of censorship-resistant cryptoanarchism of #zap.stream and all the profound unconventionality of #shosho.live!
I don't see BlueSky as a replacement for Twitter. BlueSky is more of a pop-oriented alternative to Mastodon. But as a convenient alternative to X, I like タイッツ. Especially because, in addition to the standard 140-character tweets, it also has 6K "long tights". This even makes it closer to Sharkey!
A very good article! perhaps a bit too optimistic about AI actually transforming the stagnant landscape of general education... though I was actually talking about the "flipped classroom" idea back in the 90s...
暑い ( Hot) - s an adjective used to describe hot weather/air/atmosphere 熱い ( Hot) - is an adjective used to describe the high temperature of a liquid/object/thing (also used figuratively as "hot girl" 熱い - passionate, ardent)
How amusing... I put some very young, practically unopened hogweed leaves in the fridge... I didn't have time to deal with them... and after five days they bleached out, unexpectedly, although the taste became less aromatic and rich

Hi all, friendica.au has been updated to the lastest version (2026.05). Please reach out at any time if you run into issues.
Also, due to a big wave of spam registrations hitting the server new registrations are now subject to moderator approval. Hopefully this will be a temporary measure, apologies for the inconvenience. Approval should be granted within 24 hours of registration.
