The most similar Fediverse project comes from {{Internal Link |target=What is (streams)? |link-name=the Streams repository}}, followed by {{Internal Link |target=What is Friendica? |link-name=Friendica}}, also because Hubzilla was forked from a Friendica fork. None of them offers quite as many features as Hubzilla, though.

Hubzilla's Web interface is extensively themeable, much like wholly different Web interfaces for {{Internal Link |target=What is Mastodon? |link-name=Mastodon}}, but as of now, there is only one supported theme, Redbasic. It can be extensively configured, though. It also has a dark mode that can be activated manually or automatically.

There are no working mobile apps for Hubzilla. The only way to use it is via its Web interface which is extensively themeable, much like wholly different Web interfaces for {{Internal Link |target=What is Mastodon? |link-name=Mastodon}}, but there is only one supported theme as of now.
There is only one mobile app that works with Hubzilla: The third-party app Nomad is only available for Android and only from F-Droid or as an APK download. Also, it has not been maintained since October 2019. There is no Hubzilla app on the Google Play Store, and there is no Hubzilla app for iOS at all. See also under [[#External links|external links]].
