I think Hubzilla is a good candidate.

I think Hubzilla is a good candidate.

Friendica requires MariaDB/MySQL. As the database guy, I have to say: 100% fail (please no discussions, we've had them all), that disqualifies it. Hubzilla seems to be more open; Diaspora as well, but i said to be difficult.

What else is there? It has to be a decentralised system in any case.

  1. Unfortunately no mobile client available yet, which is a kind of showstopper for me.

  2. Mark Nowiasz Actually not necessary, it works fine in a (mobile) browser.

  3. Isabella LeCour I second that. The problem with Hubzilla as of this moment is it’s convoluted installation process (unless I’m missing something).

  4. Isabella LeCour I hear you! I’m also up, scrambling around to find a solution for the 43k+ philosophy community. It’s an unfortunate mess! :(

  5. What's really nice about hubzilla (apart from the fact that there's no mobile client i.e. no push notifications) is that it could also work as a Nextcloud replacement - it has got caldav, carddav and webdav.

  6. Mark Nowiasz there's actually a mobile client called nomad, so far only for Android, available via f-droid for example

  7. Isabella LeCour so far I’m loving MeWe. It’s everything I always wanted G+ to be. Its feature-set is superior to G+’s.

  8. There's an open Hubzilla instance at https://hub.toot.cat run by long-time G+ user Woozle Hypertwin. She also admins the https://toot.cat Mastodon instance.

    Hubzilla, Diaspora, Pluspora, Friendica, and Mastodon are all part of the Fediverse and interconnect and intercommunicate, so the distinctions are reasonably minor between them. UI/UX, and setup/admin, do vary, if you're going that route.

    Self hosting and profile migration are also possiblr.

    I'm dr@hub.toot.cat

    (The "edmorbius" part got lost....)

  9. Edward Morbius since you say Hubzilla and diaspora* and Mastodon are all part of the Fediverse, how can I follow your hubzilla account from Mastodon? Searching for it does not seem to work.

  10. Filip H.F. Slagter I am trying to sort that out.

    In theory, they're all interconnectable. In practice ... theory and practice differ.

  11. Isabella LeCour Who brought medium in the discussion as a replacement? Right, nobody. So don't talk against it.

    I only cited a medium article about HubZilla, a distributed system.

  12. Let's keep the discussion on-track, peeps, thanks.
