===== Friendica Cheat Sheet =====
==== Add (Follow) Mastodon Account ====
//Mastodon is the most popular platform on the Fediverse and is a lot like Twitter/X//
   * Find the name of the account
     * go to [https://mastodon.social/]]
     * search in the search box and click on their profile
     * copy the account name
   * Add the account in the search bar. Example: ''404mediaco@mastodon.social''

</code>
  * From there to get some posts to start with go to ''contacts'', check the box, then in ''batch actions'' choose ''update''
==== Add (Follow) Lemmy Group ====
//Lemmy is the Fediverse version of Reddit//

==== Add Bluesky Account ====
You can connect Bluesky to Friendica via ''settings'' --> ''addons'' --> Bluesky Import/Export

==== Add RSS Feed ====
//Most websites, blogs and forums have an RSS feed. You can follow them in Friendica just by adding their RSS feed//

=== Find the RSS Feed ===
  * for most websites you can add ''/feed'' or ''/rss'' to the end of the URL
  * for forums (and if the above fails) you can usually find the rss feed by looking at the source for the webpage (right-click and choose ''view page source''
  * if you don't feel like nerding out you can use a Chrome extension to get the feed such as [[https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/get-rss-feed-url/kfghpdldaipanmkhfpdcjglncmilendn|Get RSS Feed URL]]

=== Add the Feed ===
  * Once you had the feed URL you can just paste it in the search bar (where the big magnifying glass is) and hit the ''Follow'' button
//you won't see anything immediately because the feed will only show new posts, not posts that were posted before you followed//
