If you'd like to have your own server, you can do that too. Visit <a href="http://friendica.com/download">the Friendica website</a> to download the code with setup instructions. It's a very simple install process that anybody experienced in hosting websites, or with basic Linux experience can handle easily.
*OpenID*
The first field on the Registration page is for an OpenID address. If you do not have an OpenID address or do not wish to use OpenID, leave this field blank. If you have an OpenID account elsewhere and wish to use it, enter the address into this field and click 'Register'. Friendica will attempt to extract as much information as possible from your OpenID provider and return to this page with those items already filled in.
*Your Full Name*
Please provide your full name **as you would like it to be displayed on this system**. Most people use their real name for this, but you're under no obligation to do so yourself.
*Email Address*
Please provide a valid email address. Your email address is **never** published. We need this to send you account information and your login details. You may also occasionally receive notifications of incoming messages or items requiring your attention, but you have the ability to completely disable these from your Settings page once you have logged in. This doesn't have to be your primary email address, but it does need to be a real email address. You can't get your initial password, or reset a lost password later without it. This is the only bit of personal information that has to be accurate.
*Nickname*
A nickname is used to generate web addresses for many of your personal pages, and is also treated like an email address when establishing communications with others. Due to the way that the nickname is used, it has some limitations. It must contain only US-ASCII text characters and numbers, and must also start with a text character. It also must be unique on this system. This is used in many places to identify your account, and once set - cannot be changed.
*Directory Publishing*
The Registration form also allows you to choose whether or not to list your account in the online directory. This is like a "phone book" and you may choose to be unlisted. We recommend that you select 'Yes' so that other people (friends, family, etc.) will be able to find you. If you choose 'No', you will essentially be invisible and have few opportunities for interaction. Whichever you choose, this can be changed any time from your Settings page after you login.
*Register*
Once you have provided the necessary details, click the 'Register' button. An email will be sent to you providing your account login details. Please watch your email (including spam folders) for your registration details and initial password.
**Login Page**
On the 'Login' page, please enter your login information that was provided during registration. You may use either your nickname or email address as a Login Name.

After your first login, please visit the 'Settings' page from the top menu bar and change your password to something that you will remember.
**Getting Started**
A ['Tips for New Members'](newmember) link will show up on your home page for two weeks to provide some important Getting Started information.

The next thing you can do is look at the Directory. The directory is split up into two parts. If you click the directory button, you will be presented with a list of all members (who chose to be listed) on your server. You'll also see a link to the Global Directory. If you click through to the global directory, you will be presented with a list of everybody who chose to be listed across all instances of Friendica. You will also see a "Show Community Forums" link, which will direct you to Groups, Forums and Fanpages. You connect to people, groups and forums in the same way, except groups and forums will automatically accept your introduction request, whereas a human will approve you manually.

To connect with other Friendica users:
Visit their profile. Just beneath their profile picture will be the word 'Connect' (we're assuming this is an English language profile).

This is the global directory. If you get lost, you can <a href = "help/groupsandpages">click this link</a> to bring yourself back here.
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.
Once you've added some groups, <a href = "/help/andfinally">move on to the next section</a>.

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.

This is your Suggested Friends page. If you get lost, you can <a href="help/makenewfriends">click this link</a> to bring yourself back here.
This is a bit like the Friend Suggestions page of Facebook. Everybody on this list has agreed that they may be suggested as a friend. This means they're unlikely to refuse an introduction you send, and they want to meet new people too!
See somebody you like the look of? Click the connect button beneath their photograph. This will bring you to the introductions page. Fill in the form as instructed, and add a small note (optional). Now, wait a bit and they'll accept your request - note that these are real people, and it might take a while. Now you've added one, you're probably lost. Click the link at the top of this page to go back to the suggested friends list and add some more.

This is a bit like the Newsfeed at Facebook or the Stream at Diaspora. It's where all the posts from your contacts, groups, and feeds will appear. If you're new, you won't see anything in this page, unless you posted your status in the last step. If you've already added a few friends, you'll be able to see their posts. Here, you can comment, like, or dislike posts, or click on somebody's name to visit their profile page where you can write on their wall.

This is the bit that makes Friendica unique. You can connect to <i>anybody on the internet</i> from your Friendica account using this page! The available connectors varies depending on which plugins you have installed, but for now, we'll walk you through Facebook. Note that not all servers have the Facebook connector installed. If you can't find it in the list below, don't worry, we'll look at ways of connecting to more people in the following pages.
The biggest of all social networks is Facebook. Fortunately, this connector is really easy. Scroll down the page, and click Facebook Connector Settings. Enter your Facebook user name and password and let the application (the connector) do everything the options suggest. You can <a href = "https://github.com/friendica/friendica/wiki/How-to:-Friendica%E2%80%99s-Facebook-connector" target="new">fine tune this</a> or experiment with the other connectors too.
