People using Diaspora accounts can join and participate in Friendica forums. There is a guide on how to do this at kakste.com: http://kakste.com/profile/cyclists/?tab=profile (adapt the instructions for the name of the forum you are interested in).
People using Diaspora accounts can join and participate in Friendica forums, but unfortunately, things aren't quite as straight forward for them.
First, find the ID of the group you wish to join. This ID address will look like an email address. If you're not sure what this ID is, click the "Connect" button and copy it from there. Enter this ID in the search box of your own 'pod' and add the group you wish to join from the results page there.
This group will auto-follow you back...but on some pods, this can take some time. Once you've got the notification that we're following back, you can then contribute to the group by mentioning the group in a post.
Due to Diaspora bugs, it is more reliable to view the groups profile page on your 'pod' and use the mention button there than it is to @-mention from a post.
