Diaspora/Website

Here you can: change your email address and password, set your language, choose from one of our color themes, set the default visibility of your posts, pick your email notification preferences and download your data or close your seed.

If you want, you can set your seed to automatically start sharing with anyone who starts sharing with you. You can also re-enable the “getting started” hints that appeared when you first opened your account.

This is a list of users you are ignoring. You can remove them from this list if you want to start seeing posts from them again. See %{part_link} for more on ignoring people.

The Services page shows your connected services (e.g. Twitter, Tumblr, WordPress) and allows you to connect new services to your diaspora* seed. See %{part_link} for more on connected services.

That’s all, folks! Thanks a lot for reading this getting started guide. We hope it has been useful to you and that you now feel comfortable using diaspora* as your new online home. If there’s anything else you want to know about any aspect of using diaspora*, try our in-app help section – go to your user menu in the header bar and select <span class="click">Help</span> from the drop-down menu.

You must of course match the number of asterisks/underscores either side of words for the formatting to work. Typing “I want to display this as a **bold* word” won’t display the word in bold.

You can, however, type “diaspora*” or “D*” without the asterisk being interpreted as a formatting code!
