Out of curiosity, why can't A/V files be uploaded to Friendica? Seeing how images are handled, it seems like it should be able to do it.

You can upload them. But you have to switch to the file upload and size limits apply.

@Michael 🇺🇦 Friendica 'Interrupted Fern' 2024.12 - 1576 and the user is using an early Bookface , from back when it was a modifier for Frio

Yes, its an old system, my host seems to have died/is dying, anyone know of anyone other than Elastio offering hosted Friendica instances?

I guess it has been added after that version.

Concerning hosted systems, we recently received an email from Hostinger that they added Friendica:

hostinger.com/applications/fri…

I can't tell you anything about them, other than I heard the name "Hostinger" before, so I can't tell you more.

In the earlier versions of Bookface I purposely hid the "Files" button because there is no file management interface. A regular user can't delete the files, only a server administrator can. It was recommended that videos and other files be hosted elsewhere and linked to or embedded in posts, rather than uploaded to the Friendica server. I removed the hiding of the files button in the most recent Bookface, but I still wouldn't recommend actually using that feature.
