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.

Belgur er miðlari sem keyrir diaspora* hugbúnaðinn og er tengdur diaspora* netinu. "Belgur" er samlíking við fræbelgi á plöntum sem innihalda fræ á sama átt og miðlarinn hýsir marga notendur. Það eru margir belgir til. Þú getur bætt við vinum á öðrum belgjum og átt í samskiptum við þá. (Þú getur hugsað belg á svipaðan hátt og tölvupóstþjón: það eru margir opnir belgir sem og lokaðir belgir , þú getur meira að segja hýst þinn eginn belg). -

How do I use the search box to find particular individuals?
How do I use the search box to find particular individuals?

You can search for people by entering their username or their diaspora* name (the name that is shown on their profile). If neither of these methods work, enter their full diaspora* ID (username@podname.org). If your search doesn’t work the first time, it could be due to network latency. Try it again.

diaspora* uses a simplified system called %{markdown}. The publisher has buttons to make it easy to format your text. If you want to format your post manually, you can find the full Markdown syntax %{here}. The preview tab means you can see how your message will look before you share it. Remember that you can’t edit it once posted, so use the preview to make sure it’s perfect before pressing Share!

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. If you post a direct link to an audio or video file, diaspora* will embed it using standard HTML5 player. 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.

Oftast er hægt að setja URLið (t.d. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnnnnnnnnnn) beint inn í skilaboðin og myndin eða myndbandið verður fellt sjálfkrafa inn í skeytið. Við styðjum meðal annars. YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Flickr ásamt nokkrum öðrum. diaspora* notar oEmbed til að framkvæma innfellinguna sem gerir það að verkum að nýjar þjónustur eru stöðugt að bætast í hópinn. Mundu að setja alltaf inn fulla slóð inn, ekki stytta hana né bæta aftan við sem og að smá stund getur tekið áður en innfellingin er verður sýnileg. -
