How to make new friends on Diaspora

Please note that Diaspora is not official yet and most of the public pods are being wiped clean on a regular basis.

You can start by signing up with a public pod. A good one is http://my-seed.com/. When you are signed in, you would usually have no friends. You can start by adding new friends by sending them your seed user name or by sending users a friend request by submitting their seed or login through request friend box.

Once done, new friends will appear under the [Manage] tab. There you can categories where you want to add your friends and remove friends. Eventually once setup, you will receive a default profile picture. You can change this default picture by creating a new album in your photos section and uploading a picture.
