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!
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.
Happy posting!

Hi friendica.au users,
we're currently investigating an issue where some private messages to/from other instances aren't being sent out or received. Please comment below if you have encountered this problem - any information could be helpful in narrowing down the cause.
Apologies for the inconvenience!
Unfortunately, Friendica isn't well supported by the different mobile apps that exist for the fediverse. If you use Chrome or another Chromium-based browser (e.g. Vanadium, Vivaldi), you can do the following instead:
This will install friendica.au as a web app which behaves similar to a native app.
Play around with different theme settings (under Settings -> Display) to find the one that works best for your mobile device!
Our Friendica instance is less than a week old and still under development, but people are starting to find us - so welcome to our first users!
Even though things may still change a bit it should be mostly stable. So if you found us, feel free to bring in others who might be interested and help bring this place to life!
Also check out aus.social and pixelfed.au for more Australian fediverse. As you are probably aware, you can connect with anyone on these and all other fediverse instances from your friendica.au account.
Let's grow the fediverse into a viable alternative to the big tech social networks!
Hi Lynfox,
unfortunately you cannot change your username, you'll have to delete your account and register a new one.
What's more, once a username has been deleted, it cannot be registered again so you only get one attempt at the one you want.
In your case, I suggest you register your preferred user name (lynfox should be available) and make sure you can log in before deleting the old one - just to be safe.
