Odd problem

!Friendica Support

I've been setting up this node, but hit a couple of problems. some old, some new.

My top two right now are:

1) I can't like / unlike posts from some pages, but can on others;

if I visit /profile/kacey, for example, I can't click like, and see "Network error".

If I click the little icon to take me to the source, I see the url looks like:

/display/b340ee93-2064-77b7-ca4a-bd5385215687

and on that otherwise identical looking page, I *can* click on like / unlike.

I also still have issues with following others. I thought this might have been misconfiguration on my old node, but this one is freshly configured and still does not work as expected.

2) clicking follow in the global direcotry seems to be broken still. I thought this had been fixed? Have I got something set up wrong?

There are actually some pages from which you can´t "like".
For example: when you go through the menu "Moderation" and click a user, so you are on his profile, you can´t like.
This was introduced with the Moderation Pages and isn´t fixed yet.
When i iclick my profile on the upper left and choose "directory" i can follow everyone with just one click.
Is that behavior different to yours?

So would I.

But the message want helpful.

It was written by someone who knows what they are talking about.

I'm a kernel Dev.

Websites aren't really my thing, and I have no idea how much of activitypub and web APIs actually work.

I've never used fedilab, and have no idea what to expect.

If it had said "in order to get push notifications you need to install one of the following <list>" then I could have just done that.

But more importantly, what are the consequences of not doing it? What shouldn't I expect to work? It's it actually optional?

I don't use push notifications.

Have installed #Tusky, #Fedilab, ...

Afaik this just effects, how fast you will get notifications about... notifications... 😉 ... so e.g. someone mentioned you.

Mostly using #Mastodon (and #Mammuthus), i have to admit, but also installed a #Friendica instance once... 😉

The thing is, I'm a kernel dev. I can figure stuff out.

But I'm not particularly a web guy or really all that interested.

Thing is though, that whilst I might eventually figure this out (if I can be bothered), it just shouldnt be this hard...

That first message is bad enough, but having installed ntfy, I get:

Which is utterly useless. I though I'd just install it, and *bam* push notifications, but theres a whole UI with complicated buttons and stuff.

Why? Is this really needed to get a notification?

I know, I'll read the link on the screen... now *two* levels deep on something that sounds simple...

and get to this:

"Push notifications made easy"

Oh thank fuck... where's the button to make all this go away?

so, first up, Im patronisingly told how to pronouncy ntfy.

Apparently it's a simple "HTTP-based pub-sub notification service"

and "allows me to blah blah REST API"

Its "Infinitely flexible"

I can get it everywhere.

Great!!!

What does it do?
How does it do it?
Why isn't it doing it?
How do I make it do it?

I've never used a REST API in my life. This is bonkers.
