About

Friendika is open-source software for distributed social computing. It is written in PHP and uses the OAuth standard for sharing data with other nodes.

Connecting

  • Twitter, StatusNet, and Facebook: see Connectors
  • Diaspora: enter the Diaspora user's "site ID" (not sure if this is the correct term, but it's the email address that uniquely identifies them across all nodes, and typically has their home node's domain name in the email address) in the "Connect/Follow" field in the "Contacts" tab.
  • RSS/Atom: enter the URL for the RSS/Atom feed in the "Connect/Follow" field
  • mailing lists: not sure how this works

There was something tricky about the base URL for the API, I can't remember the details except that there were 3 URLs listed and what you want to enter is the part that they all have in common, which was something like "domain.name/API/" (specifically not including "OAuth/"). I think this was for StatusNet, but will have to check.
