Connect Diaspora with Facebook

Enable posting to Facebook from your Dispora Server:


Goto http://developers.facebook.com/setup/
Choose a name, for example "Diaspora at example.org"
Set the site address to your pod URL including a trailing /, for example http://example.org/
Choose a language
Click on Create application
Fill the Captcha
It will now give you your app id and your app_secret which you have to set in your config/oauth_keys.yml
Go to http://www.facebook.com/developers/editapp.php?app_id=< your app id >
Go to Website and fill the domain of your pod (without http://) in Website-Domain, then click Save changes
Restart Diaspora on your server
You're done. It's now possible to post to Facebook from your pod :)
