Your friend will need to approve the request, and then you can chat via text or voice using /CTRL-o/ and /CTRL-p/ to switch between screens and cursor keys plus Enter to select users.
Another thing worth knowing is that if you were already using a Tox client before running the /meshweb/ command then it's a good idea to close and reopen it, so that the list of bootstrap nodes is updated. The same also applies when exiting the mesh and returning to the internet.
A note for the security-conscious is that broadcasting Tox IDs via the network (using Avahi) is convenient but not highly secure. An adversary could maybe join the network and create decoy peers to try to disrupt the communications and have messages going to the wrong places. For the best security exchange Tox IDs in advance by some method other than looking them up from the initial mesh web page.
** Blogging
The Freedombone mesh uses a fully decentralized blogging system called [[https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroBlog][ZeroBlog]]. It behaves rather like other peer-to-peer file sharing systems in that if you are reading the blog of another user you are also simultaneously seeding it to other peers (acting as both a client and a server). This allows the system to scale well, while also being robust to any peer failing or leaving the network.
