A lot is going on in and around Hubzilla recently. Version 9.4 has only been released a couple of weeks ago, and it already got four bugfix releases. We might actually be approaching Hubzilla 10 in the not-so-distant future which will adopt a few features from (streams).
If only (streams) had more people taking care of it…

Thanks, I’ll include something about Hubzilla’s progress … the proof of concept Faircamp integration is interesting, do you know if anybody’s following up on it?

Not more than mentioned in that thread.
But I guess the cat’s out the bag, it’s known that this is doable, so maybe this won’t stay the only time.
That, and/or people might bolt other stuff to Hubzilla.

My Harry Potter instance is doing okay, so yeah … Harry Potter fandom is slowly growing in the Fediverse. A thing that a year ago I thought wouldn’t be possible in the Fediverse. Seems really like there is enough room in the Fediverse to let different communities co-exists along with each other even if they don’t agree on many things

Interesting, my first reaction is that I also wouldn’t have expected it but as you say there’s a lot of room in the Fediverse. In Seven Theses On The Fediverse And The Becoming Of Floss, Aymeric Mansoux and Roel Roscam Abbing talk about the Fediverse as “a site for online agonistic pluralism”, and this is a good example - radically different views coexisting.
The article goes in a direction I like: plurality and to allow different communities to develop alongside each other is great. However, I still think we should push for establishing universal human rights. I’m not a fan of moral realitivism. I think every community should be able to get onto the Fediverse, but we don’t need to applaud every community to do so, and can also take actions against communities that do bad things (e.g. by defederating).
I would recommend “The Dawn of Everything” by David Graber and David Wengrow, which shows how humans managed to live in different forms of community already throughout history. Maybe in the Fediverse, this could become more easy on the internet, too.

Scott M. Stolz is back at developing his new third-party themes which we expect to improve Hubzilla’s UX. On top of that, he plans to launch a bunch of new public hubs, also so aspiring users in North America won’t have to resort to overseas hubs.
The re-writing of Hubzilla’s entire help in German and English is on-going.
Most recent surprise: Someone has managed to integrate the Bandcamp alternative Faircamp into a Hubzilla channel.
If only (streams) had more people taking care of it…

And what do you know, HUGO was bolted to Hubzilla.
This cool new thing that was just created recently called smoke signal that is basically a fediverse alternative to website like meetup.com
Once I saw this I had realized what was missing from the fediverse experience and that this was it, local interaction!
Check out smoke signal!
Interesting, there is a similar project called Mobilizon: joinmobilizon.org/en/
Nice didn’t know this existed, plus its framasoft so its got more attached to it already than just a dev who started a thing recently
Mobilizon is a really solid project – thanks for mentioning it @blaze@feddit.org !
Great point, I’ll add that.
It’s a pity about the name. Cultural appropriation of native Americans is an ongoing problem and this is just tone deaf.
wernative.org/…/native-cultural-appropriation
Are you trying to say that the name of smoke signal all is cultural appropriation?
It’s a good point, maybe I won’t add it after all.
Started contributing for ibis! I’m working on the table of contents rn
Nice !

@thenexusofprivacy @blue_berry I always look forward to the random Harry Potter memes that cross my feed from there!
Glad you like it :)
That’s really good news - we need more topic specific instances.
