♲ @AlexVoss@fosstodon.org: Student of mine is conducting a survey on the barriers to uptake of alternative social media platforms. Your input would be much appreciated. Please boost.

#MeWe is just centralized, proprietary #Hubzilla. Why is that attractive to anyone looking for replacements for the #datafarm platforms? A more user-friendly UI I guess?

@wyatwerp not necessarily. #Hubzilla can federate over AP though, depending if the federation plug-in is installed on the instance or not. Hopefully some of the work @mike has done implementing native AP support in #Zap will be backported to Hubzilla, allowing AP support to be on by default in all hubs, without breaking #NomadicIdentity.

@slimeblob yes,
Dispora has it's own federation protocol (a variant of #OStatus), and last I checked its core team adamantly refused to consider adding #ActivityPub. I can see why in a way. D* works quite differently to Titter-a-likes like #Mastodon and #Pleroma. But that didn't stop Mike McG from supporting AP in #Hubzilla and later #Zap.

@dredmorbius same :) I currently blog on an ancient Wordpress fork hosted by #CoActivate.org, but I'm keen to transition to something that interacts with the #fediverse, as well as publishing to the web. I've considered using apps that allow long form posts and speak a number of federation standards. Eg #Friendica (#OStatus, #Diaspora, #ActivityPub) or #Hubzilla (all those plus #Zot). I'm also watching the tech deployed for @blog (WP + plugins).

Some software, like #Friendica and #SocialHome, is compatible with both federation standards. #Hubzilla too if the instance and channel uses the add-on for it, although I'm told that can break compatibility with some features of #Zot, its native federation protocol.

♲ @lightone@mastodon.xyz: Wish to run your own #Hubzilla but aren't an administrator?
Have a hub run by one of service providers:

• Softaculous: www.softaculous.com/apps/socia…
• K&T host: www.knthost.com/hubzilla-hosti…
• Kualo: www.kualo.com/webhosting/hubzi…
• Glowhost: apps.glowhost.com/socialnetwor…
• А2 hosting: www.a2hosting.in/hubzilla-host…
• InterServer: www.interserver.net/apps/hubzi…
• Global Village - www.global-village.de/serverho…
• Zot Host - zot.host

Hubzilla developer Mathew Dent also plans to start a Hubzilla hosting with special features 👌

Fediverse: We are family - We are Community - We are Future

@xavavu given this, how likely is it that the work done on #Zap to develop newer version(s) of #Zot, and move AP support into core, will be backported to #Hubzilla? I've heard that when Hubzilla hubs use the federation plug-in to support AP, Diaspora, and OStatus, it breaks #NomadicIdentity.
@lightone

@tealturtle have you tried #Friendica or #Hubzilla? These have groups that federate over #DFRN and #Zot respectively (disclaimer: haven't tried them myself). Like federated events, federated groups is a passion for me too. Maybe we could create a board or thread on the new #SocialHub and try to get reps from AP projects that have some kind of groups feature, to discuss interop?

@Wolf480pl both #Friendica and #Hubzilla have calendar functions, although I'm not sure if either federate over AP (yet). Mobilizon and GetTogether are working on group events systems that will federate over AP. There's a need to converge on a meta-standard for federating events over AP networks, as #ForgeFed are doing for code forges.
@alcinnz

@lohang like @clacke says, #Friendica is a solution, or a #Hubzilla instance with the not-Zot federation plug-in working.

@jessmahler the reason I specify the "AP fediverse" is that some of the other networks that now seem to be included under the conceptual umbrella of the fediverse work quite differently. #Diaspora for example, has always allowed users to choose between posting to public, followers, or subgroups of them (like the "circles" concept in G+), but isn't compatible with AP apps like Masto. #Zot apps (#Hubzilla and #Zap) have a totally different and amazingly granular privacy model, but few users.

@dredmorbius I mentioned instance-to-instance portability in the first half of the original post:

Zot's #NomadicIdentity is better than nothing, but keeping track of which is my primary instance, which I've cloned my channels to, and which are still alive, is a hassle. Also, if #Hubzilla instances use the plug-ins to federate with OStatus, AP, or Diaspora, it breaks NomadicIdentity, so ...
@alcinnz

@bob maybe it's a bit of both. I believe a lot of the "extra" features have been removed from the #Hubzilla UI to make it simpler for beginners to start using, and they can add them on as they need/ want them. But it might be that the admin has to install them to make them available to users to add on.
@GuerillaOntologist @Matt_Noyes @mike_hales @neil @bob

@mike_hales one of the cool things about the #Zot protocol #Hubzilla supports is that you can easily clone your channels to multiple instances. So if you started experimenting with the Disroot hub, and social.coop set up an instance, you could easily clone your channels to that, and start using it as your main portal instead. But all your stuff would still be synced and backed up on the Disroot hub.

> If you take hubzilla and simplify it. You will win.

#Disroot was doing some work on smoothing out the rough edges of the #Hubzilla #UX. Must check back in on that. I was keen to help with this a couple of years back, but got put off pretty fast by grouchy messages from a certain dev about having to "spoonfeed" users ...
