Sorry, I hate to be that guy, but since you’re dismissing the opinion of one of the people that designed the first decentralised social media protocol, I’m going to assume it’s because you’re better qualified to make the assessment. Can I ask, what are your qualifications?

Wish I knew

As a side note, it’s kinda interesting how that fediverse.info tries to pretend that Lemmy isn’t a thing, all while treating WordPress like it’s the second biggest Fediverse service and not currently trying to fuck over a bunch of users and long-term contributors.

Threadiverse was used prior to Meta’s joining of the Fediverse.

Hello 👋

It took them a minute, but I’m glad they have a direction.

Deleted posts and member bans inconsistent with the rules and without explanation.

It’s because you mentioned Facebook, I thought Friendica would be a good like for like.

I can’t find anything regarding self-hosting this

I ended up watching a few videos and now I understand. Danke!

Sorry to bother you again, I was starting to look into Hubzilla and my brain started hurting, because I can’t understand how you federate contacts, calendar and file hosting. That said, I started looking into the contacts and calendar thing and this came up

Hubzilla and Nextcloud both offer features for managing contacts and calendars, but they cater to different needs:

• Hubzilla focuses on social networking and doesn’t have built-in calendar or contact management features. However, some Hubzilla servers offer integrations with third-party calendar and contact apps.
• Nextcloud excels at personal cloud storage, including contacts and calendars. You can store your contact information and calendar events on your own server, giving you complete control and privacy over your data.

Is this correct?

Nice. Thank you.

It’s a real shame about Plume. I actually saw that notice on the Plume website, but thought as long as I can get it up and running, it can’t be so bad.

I’ve spent the best part of this week trying to get WriteFreely up and running locally as I just want to host a couple blogs without having to agree to let LLMs harvest my musings, but alas, WriteFreely doesn’t work with Docker and the community is MIA.

Ghost was something I was excited about but it only allows one blog per instance, so it’s not even worth getting excited about the upcoming federation implementation.

WordPress as a company are happy to get into bed with LLMs, so I’m holding them at arms length.

As for Lemmy, it’s far too cumbersome and not adept at blogging. But it’s an amazing link aggregator.

Does Hubzilla have CardDAV and CalDAV support? I’m using NextCloud for calendar and contacts primarily, would be interesting to try Hubzilla as a replacement if it’s feasible.

I hear all this talk about WordPress, but at the same time, they’re selling users’ content to AI, so I don’t want to continue to use them.

No worries. I appreciate the thought. Thanks for trying to help.

Okay, I guess my next big question is, what is hubzilla at its core? Is it a NextCloud alternative?

I’m a big fan of tools made for purpose. Lemmy has some fantastic features and continues to improve, but it was never designed as a blogging platform. Even when I duplicate self text posts, it doesn’t merge. In the timeline. I like Lemmy and want to see it succeed. Though that’s not easy with the ML administration team going rogue or the overt centralization fostered on world, but neither of those are software issues.
