That good, eh?  You’ve already reshared that post!

Hey, you haven’t followed any tags!  Continue anyway?

All right, I’ll wait.

OK, I suppose #<%= tagName %> wasn’t all that interesting...

Hey, please don’t go!

We’d love you to stay and help us make diaspora* better instead of leaving. If you really do want to leave, however, here’s what will happen next:

We will delete all of your posts and profile data as soon as possible. Your comments on other people’s posts will still appear, but they will be associated with your diaspora* ID rather than your name.

You will get signed out and locked out of your account until it has been deleted.

Your username will be locked. You will not be able to create a new account on this pod with the same ID.

There is no turning back! If you’re really sure, enter your password below.

Ask in a public post on diaspora* using the %{question} hashtag

Yes. At the bottom of the Account tab of your settings page you will find two buttons: one for downloading your data and one for downloading your photos.

Go to the bottom of your settings page and click the “Close account” button. You will be asked to enter your password to complete the process. Remember, if you close your account, you will <strong>never</strong> be able to re-register your username on that pod.

In short: everything. Communication between pods is always encrypted (using SSL and diaspora*’s own transport encryption), but the storage of data on pods is not encrypted. If they wanted to, the database administrator for your pod (usually the person running the pod) could access all your profile data and everything that you post (as is the case for most websites that store user data). This is why we give you the choice which pod you sign up to, so you can choose a pod whose admin you are happy to trust with your data. Running your own pod provides more privacy since you then control access to the database.

Once you are sharing with someone on another pod, any posts you share with them and a copy of your profile data are stored (cached) on their pod, and are accessible to that pod’s database administrator. When you delete a post or profile data it is deleted from your pod and a delete request is sent to any other pods where it had previously been stored. Your images are never stored on any pod but your own; only links to them are transmitted to other pods.

If you make a limited post, it will only be visible to the people you had placed in that aspect (or aspects, if it is made to multiple aspects) before making the post. Contacts you have who aren’t in the aspect have no way of seeing the post. Limited posts will never be visible to anyone who you haven’t placed into one of your aspects.

Can I restrict the posts in my stream to just those from certain aspects?

Yes. Click “My aspects” in the side-bar and then click individual aspects in the list to select or deselect them. Only the posts by people in the selected aspects will appear in your stream.

What does “make contacts in this aspect visible to each other” mean?

If you check this option then contacts from that aspect will be able to see who else is in it, in the “Contacts” tab on your profile page. It’s best to select this option only if the contacts in that aspect all know each other, for example if the aspect is for a club or society you belong to. They still won’t be able to see what the aspect is called.

No. They are also not notified if you add them to more aspects, when you are already sharing with them.

How do I rename an aspect?

Click “My aspects” in the side-bar from a stream view and click the pencil icon by the aspect you want to rename, or go to your Contacts page and select the relevant aspect. Then click the edit icon next to the aspect name at the top of this page, change the name and press “Update”.

Yes. When you are making a post, use the aspect selector button to select or deselect aspects. “All aspects” is the default setting. Your post will be visible to all the aspects you select. You could also select the aspects you want to post to in the side-bar. When you post, the aspect(s) that you have selected in the list on the left will automatically be selected in the aspect selector when you start to make a new post.

Yes. Go to your contacts page and click on “My contacts”. For each contact you can use the menu on the right to add them to (or remove them from) as many aspects as you want. Or you can add them to a new aspect (or remove them from an aspect) by clicking the aspect selector button on their profile page. Or you can even just move the pointer over their name where you see it in the stream, and a “hovercard” will appear. You can change the aspects they are in right there.

Click “My aspects” in the side-bar from a stream view and click the pencil icon by the aspect you want to delete, or go to your Contacts page and select the relevant aspect. Then click the trash icon in the top right of the page.

What is a “mention”?

A mention is a link to a person’s profile page that appears in a post. When someone is mentioned they receive a notification that calls their attention to the post.

Type the “@” sign and start typing their name. A drop-down menu should appear to let you select them more easily. Note that it is only possible to mention people you have added to an aspect.

Yes, click “@Mentions” in the left-hand column on your home page.

A pod is a server running the diaspora* software and connected to the diaspora* network. “Pod” is a metaphor referring to pods on plants which contain seeds, in the way that a server contains a number of user accounts. There are many different pods. You can add friends from other pods and communicate with them. There’s no need to open an account on different pods! One is enough – in this way, you can think of a diaspora* pod as similar to an email provider. There are public pods, private pods, and with some effort you can even run your own.

If you want to invite your friends to join diaspora*, use the invitation link or the email link in the side-bar. Follow #tags to discover others who share your interests, and add those who post things that interest you to an aspect. Shout out that you’re #newhere in a public post.

If you know their full diaspora* ID (e.g. username@podname.org), you can find them by searching for it. If you are on the same pod you can search for just their username. Alternatively you can search for them by their profile name (the name you see on screen). If a search does not work the first time, try it again.

How do I hide a post?

Click the little camera icon to insert an image into a post. Press the camera icon again to add another photo, or you can select multiple photos to upload in one go.

You cannot upload images into comments, but the following Markdown code

No. Images are resized automatically to fit the stream or single-post view. Markdown does not have a code for specifying the size of an image.

You can usually just paste the URL (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnnnnnnnnnn ) into your post and the video or audio will be embedded automatically. The sites supported include: YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Flickr and a few more. diaspora* uses oEmbed for this feature. We’re supporting more media sources all the time. Remember to always post simple, full links – no shortened links; no operators after the base URL – and give it a little time before you refresh the page after posting for seeing the preview.
