@heluecht How does a user do that, as I can't find a way here for that?

  @heluecht Friendica 'Interrupted Fern' 2024.12 - 1576 and the user is using an early Bookface , from back when it was a modifier for Frio
  Yes, its an old system, my host seems to have died/is dying, anyone know of anyone other than Elastio offering hosted Friendica instances?

    @heluecht @capitan In the earlier versions of Bookface I purposely hid the "Files" button because there is no file management interface. A regular user can't delete the files, only a server administrator can. It was recommended that videos and other files be hosted elsewhere and linked to or embedded in posts, rather than uploaded to the Friendica server. I removed the hiding of the files button in the most recent Bookface, but I still wouldn't recommend actually using that feature.

    @randompenguin @heluecht Gotcha, its not something I'd use much if all, after all I have a Loops ( vextaur@loops.video), and I usually just boost it, but i'd like to have the option. Anything specifically bad about it? I'm assuming it works the same as pictures, just the files are bigger.

    @capitan I guess it has been added after that version.
    Concerning hosted systems, we recently received an email from Hostinger that they added Friendica:
    hostinger.com/applications/fri…
    I can't tell you anything about them, other than I heard the name "Hostinger" before, so I can't tell you more.

    @heluecht Chuckles, "No wonder I didn't know it existed. Thanks. Hmmm, bit heavy on the AI over there for me."
