How to add a friend from a different Diaspora pod?

Question

I have a profile at the Diaspora pod called pod.geraspora.de

My real-life friend has a profile at the Diaspora pod called joindiaspora.com

QUESTION: How can I add this friend?

My id: https://pod.geraspora.de/u/nicolasraoul
My friend's id: https://joindiaspora.com/u/nameofmyfriend

Searching by name or id does not work.
We have both connected Diaspora to Facebook, but it says "not on Diaspora".

Answer 1

If you are on different servers, you need to use your full Diaspora IDs. Type something like nameofyourfriend@joindiaspora.com into the search field at the top, and it should find his account after a while. (Or he can do the same with your full ID.)

Another option (if you cannot find him for some reason): On the right side there is a link titled Share this link via email, blog, or favorite social network!. Just send him this link and he should be able to connect to you by visiting it.
