Too many buddies

shindere opened this issue · 2 comments

Thanks a lot for this awesome work.

I am using the plugin with bitlbee.

The list of Facebook buddies contains not only my facebook friends
but also all the people I ever talked with on Messenger.

So far I have tried two things to fix this:

  1. Removing the conversation on Messenger

  2. Removing the person from my list of buddies within bitlbee

None of this worked and I couldn't find a setting (at least in bitlbee)
to include only facebook friends in the buddy list.

Any help warmly appreciated. Thanks!

I worked around this by adding a new group in Pidgin and adding my frequent friends there.

I searched for a friend on Messengers mobile app (since webMessengers search is unusable) and said sth to them. That raised them to the top of the default "Facebook Friends" group (ordered by activity) and there I just dragged them over to my new group

edit: this applies to Pidgin only, dunno about bitlbee or other libpurple clients
