Diaspora/Website
-
Add a few words about yourself. It might be things that interest you – perhaps music, activism – and perhaps the town you live in. These will be converted into
<span class="click">#tags</span>, which help you find content and help other people to discover you. We’ll explain more about #tags later in this tutorial. -
Click
<span class="click">Take me to diaspora*! >></span> -
Before you do anything else, take a minute to fill out your profile. On the screen you’re taken to, click your name or avatar at the right-hand end of the black header bar, and select
<span class="click">Profile</span>from the list which drops down. Then click the blue<span class="click">Edit my profile</span>button in the top right corner. -
There are two parts to your profile: the
<strong>basic profile</strong>, which is public, and the<strong>detailed profile</strong>, which is private by default. Your public profile is visible to everyone; your private profile is visible only to people you have chosen to share with. You can fill out as much or as little of your profile as you like, and you don’t have to use your real name if you don’t want to. If you want everyone to know as much about you as possible, you can make your entire profile public. -
Most of the profile information fields are self-explanatory. NSFW stands for “not safe for work.” We’ll cover this in more detail in %{part_link}, so don’t worry about it now.
-
Don’t forget to click the
<span class="click">Update profile</span>button once you’re finished! -
¡Eso es todo!
¡Eso es todo!
That’s it! -
You’re all set to start using diaspora*! Click the pod name or
<span class="click">Stream</span>in the top left of the screen to start. -
If you want to meet and be welcomed by the diaspora* community and are feeling confident enough, make a
<strong>public</strong>post now to introduce yourself and include the<span class="click">#newhere</span>tag. Making public posts containing tags is a great way to make new friends on diaspora*. If you’re not sure about doing this now, don’t worry – we’ll take you through your first post step by step in %{part_link}. -

Part 2 – The interface -
Using the interface
-
You’re now looking at an interface that might be unfamiliar to you. (If you’re still on the edit profile page, click the pod name or
<span class="click">Stream</span>at the left-hand end of the black header bar.) Let’s have a quick look at the layout and start to get familiar with it. -
Because of the decentralized and open-source nature of diaspora*, it is possible for pod administrators to customize their pods. Therefore, depending on which pod you’re on, the interface might look very slightly different to how it’s described here. However, the essential elements should all be present, even if they are arranged slightly differently.
-
The main interface can be divided into four parts.
-
At the top of the screen is the header bar, which always remains in place, even when you scroll down the page. This header bar contains:
-
Beneath the header there are two columns:
-
In the sidebar you’ll see links to the different content views available in diaspora*:
<span class="click">Stream</span>,<span class="click">My activity</span>,<span class="click">@Mentions</span>,<span class="click">My aspects</span>,<span class="click">#Followed tags</span>and<span class="click">Public activity</span>. We’ll explain these next. There are also some links to help you invite your friends, welcome new users, find help, connect to external services such as Twitter, Tumblr, and Wordpress (if available on your pod), post to diaspora* from the rest of the web (the diaspora* “bookmarklet”) and on some pods, contact information for the pod’s administrator and a button to donate to the costs of keeping your pod running. -
The main column contains the content stream with a “publisher” box at the top. This is where the magic happens! We’ll cover using the publisher in %{part_link}.

The different views available in diaspora* are:
