Friendica also lets you create accounts that can function as discussion groups, celebrity accounts, announcement channels, news reflectors, or organization pages, depending on how you want to interact with others.
|
||
|
|
Management of these accounts can be delegated to other accounts, or a parent account can be designated to easily toggle multiple identities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Every account in Friendica has a nickname and these must all be unique.
|
||
|
|
This applies to all accounts, whether they are individual profiles or group profiles.

Managing Accounts
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To create a new linked account that can be used as a group, log in to your normal account and go to Settings > Manage Accounts.
|
||
|
|
Here you can register additional accounts with new nicknames that will be linked to your primary account.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may appoint a delegate to manage your new account.
|
||
|
|
The Delegates section of Manage Accounts page will provide you with a list of contacts on this instance under "Potential Delegates".
|
||
|
|
Selecting one or more persons will give them access to manage your newly created account.
|
||
|
|
They will be able to edit contacts, profiles, and all content for this account.
|
||
|
|
Please use this facility wisely.
|
||
|
|
Delegated managers will not be able to alter basic account settings, such as passwords or account types, or remove the account.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additionally, this page is also where you can choose to designate an account as a parent user.
|
||
|
|
If your primary account is designated as the parent user, you will be able to easily toggle identities and manage your groups or other types of accounts.

Types of Accounts
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On the new account, visit the Settings > Account page.
|
||
|
|
Towards the end of the page is a section for "Advanced account types".
|
||
|
|
Typically, you would use "Personal Page - Standard" for a normal personal account with manual approval of “friends” and “followers.”
|
||
|
|
This is the default selection.
|
||
|
|
On this page you can change the type of account if desired.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The other subtypes of a Personal Page are “Soapbox” and “Love-all.”
|
||
|
|
A Soapbox account is an announcement channel that automatically approvals follower requests.
|
||
|
|
Everything posted by the account will go out to the followers, but there will be no opportunity for interaction.
|
||
|
|
This setting would typically be used for announcements or corporate communications.
|
||
|
|
“Love-all” automatically approves contacts as friends.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition to Personal Page, there are options for Organization Page, News Page, and Community Group.
|
||
|
|
Organization and New Pages automatically approve contact requests as followers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Community Group provide the ability for people to join the group without requiring approval.
|
||
|
|
This creates a group where all members can freely interact.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Posting to Community groups
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are a member of a community group, you may post to the group by including an @-mention in the post mentioning the group.
|
||
|
|
For example @bicycle would send my post to all members of the group "bicycle" in addition to the normal recipients.
|
||
|
|
If you mention a group (you are a member of) in a new posting, the posting will be distributed to all members of the group, regardless of your privacy settings for the posting.
|
||
|
|
Also, if the group is public, your posting will be public for the all internet users.
|
||
|
|
If your post is private you must also explicitly include the group in the post permissions (to allow the group "contact" to see the post) **and** mention it in a tag (which redistributes the post to the group members).
|
||
|
|
Posting privately to a public group, will result in your posting being displayed on the group wall, but not on yours.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additionally, it is possible to address a group with the exclamation mark.
|
||
|
|
In the example above this means that you can address the bicycle group via !bicycle.
|
||
|
|
The difference with the @-mention is that the post will only be sent to the addressed group.
|
||
|
|
This also means that you shouldn't address multiple groups in a single post in that way since it will only be distributed by one the groups.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You may also post to a community group by posting a "wall-to-wall" post using secure cross-site authentication.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Comments which are relayed to community groups will be relayed back to the original post creator.
|
||
|
|
Mentioning the group with an @-mention in a comment does not relay the message, as distribution is controlled entirely by the original post creator.
