Yesterday in 2022 I moved over to this #friendica instance after my old instance of 4 years died. Yesterday the "On this day" option appeared in the 2022 archive page, and I was able to see everything I posted that day 2 years ago. I can also see it for last year as well. Not going to brag but I made that feature. It actually blows me away that I was able to do it. So surreal.

Gee--I've been on that instance for all this time and didn't even know that. I'll have to check that out.
@ClaraListensprechen4 This was just implemented for all of Friendica in late December. Along with a lot of other cool features. channels is another one if you haven't used them. You can look at only videos or only picture through your global feed making it essentially tiktok. You can go into settings and create new channels like I did creating a media one selecting for pictures and video only from my feed making it essentially Pixelfed or Instagram. In the works to rework my Friendica tutorial, that I made in 2020 and its a completely different platform. A whole video will be dedicated to channels and any other miscellaneous changes I can think of. The first video is already out.

I just went back there and see that they've got Circles now! I could never get the Circles on #qoto to work, so that's a good thing IMHO. Lots of people besides me still miss G+.
@ClaraListensprechen4 You actually always had circles they were just called groups and groups were called forums. I didn't have any idea groups had the same function as circles until I proposed the name change and everyone got on board. Lots of increasing visibility of long held features was part of this update. Most of the devs are backend heavy and they fully admit not great at front end. Also most of them have fully abandoned modern social media and have no idea what is intuitive to the casual social media user. In my new tutorial I got to purge a lot of translations from mainstream social media to friendica language because they now match.

Kewl! Actually, I was already using Groups as if they were Circles, but yeah--fans of G+ will definitely glom onto that new nomenclature.
