If your server has a support page, you should report any bugs/issues you encounter there first.
Reporting to your support page before reporting to the developers makes their job easier, as they don't have to deal with bug reports that might not have anything to do with them.
This helps us get new features faster.
Reducing the workload in this way helps us get new features faster.
You can also contact the [friendica support forum](https://helpers.pyxis.uberspace.de/profile/helpers) and report your problem there.

Bugs are rarely limited to one person, and the chances are somebody from another node has encountered the problem too, and will be able to help you.

On this page, you'll find a collection of groups, forums and celebrity pages. Groups are not real people. Connecting to them is similar to "liking" something on Facebook, or signing up for a new forum. You don't have to feel awkward about introducing yourself to a new person, because they're not people!
When you connect to a group, all messages to that group will start appearing in your network tab. You can comment on these posts, or post to the group yourself without ever having to add any of the groups members. This is a great way to make friends dynamically - you'll find people you like and add each other naturally instead of adding random strangers. Simply find a group you're interested in, and connect to it the same way you did with people in the last section. There are a lot of groups, and you're likely to get lost. Remember the link at the top of this page will bring you back here.

This is a bit like your Facebook wall. It's where all your status messgages are kept, and where your friends come to post on your wall. To write your status, simply click in the box that says "share". When you do this, the box will expand. You can see some formatting options at the top such as Bold, Italics and Underline, as well as ways to add links and pictures. At the bottom you'll find some more links. You can use these to upload pictures and files from your computer, share websites with a bit of preview text, or embed video and audio files from elsewhere on the web. You can also set your post location here.
Once you've finished writing your post, click on the padlock icon to select who can see it. If you do not use the padlock icon, your post will be public. This means it will appear to anybody who views your profile, and in the community tab if your site has it enabled, as well as in the network tab of any of your contacts.
