Its quiet over here, too quiet
Ok, if'n any y'all have noticed, its been quiet here, and frankly that's not changing.
As I've mentioned (at least I think I have), i've started experimenting with #hubzilla , which is going well. What's not going well is my Wafrn, its mostly back, but still a bit flakey after… 5 days? Maybe more, and this is the second major failure this year, not that it wasn't preceded by various random hiccups. Plus for some reason its not unusual, in fact its very common to see the same post multiple times in a row. I like #Wafrn, but I'm definitely thinking its not ready for primetime.
So what this means is that by #HubZ account that was meant to be a temporary test account, is now moving towards being my main account, I mean it can do everything this place can, and it has a better interface. It does have an issue with being so complicated that I need to find time to sit down with the manual and learn how to do everything I want with it, I mean you can have all kinds of accounts, static web page, micro blog, wiki, and more. Seriously, I could set up a main page as a micro blog, a secondary page as a web site, and a third page as a community page. Oh, and then there's the option of making a chat room. Yeah, its really complicated, really hard to explain, but also really neat.
There is one problem, and that gets back to the title of the post. Not sure why, but while I can comment on @Chuff posts, my HubZ posts, I can't boost/quote boost them, there's some kind of issue with linking the servers, and I think that has to do with my host @GoFedi , which I think is slowly dying, I have a similar problem DMing with my #Loops account. Right now I'm manually adding my friends list from Wafrn there as there's no export option on Wafrn, then I'll be copying over my #diaspora friends and RSS Feeds from here.

Playing with Hubzilla
Gotta say, I'm not even quite sure how to describe it, but it is interesting, its based on Friendica, sort of, same developer, later project, many of the same parts as they are kinda modules that can be used to build a Fedi application.
So, what do I think of Zotum?
Well, uptime is kinda crap, the account is less than 6 hours, and I've already had multiple problems reaching the server, plus problems getting searches to resolve, rather than just hanging there.
Hubzilla?
Interesting, complicated, it can be many things, even more than #friendica , heck even a web site. No, really, take a look at hubzilla.org/ , that's a Hubzilla serving as a web page. Community page, blog, microblog, web page, gallery I guess, I mean a lot. Even the most basic functions like Activity Pub and Diaspora sharing are apps that must be installed, and then activated, which is kind of a strange way to do things.
Adding friends is also a bit odd, I'm used to Wafrn's easy way, just search for the user, it'll pull up posts by them, mentioning them, their profile page, etc, and you can click on follow there if'n you want to follow them. Hubzilla? Go to connections, ignore the search box there, click on add, put the user into the search that pops up there. This seems harder than it needs to be.
Then there's post problems, though these I think are a side effect of the front end, Devils Panties, a comic whose RSS feed I follow? Most of the posts show up as just a link on my timeline. Share a web site to my timeline? Just a link, no displayed preview, however I can see the post complete with a preview, so that's definitely the front end
Its interesting as I said, and it may even replace this place, especially if'n I can find a host that'll do custom themes, there are definitely some interesting options out there: github.com/saiwal/Utsukta-hub-… Honestly those themes give a good look at the flexibility of Hubzilla.

Ok, need to figure out how to export my contact list from bark.wolp.chat , because while I'm not sure I'm done with Wafrn, I know I'm damn well done with that instance.
