Just like Friendica, (streams), {{Internal Link |target=What is Lemmy? |link-name=Lemmy}} and {{Internal Link |target=What is kbin? |link-name=/kbin}}, Hubzilla has a different thread structure than most of the rest of the Fediverse. Most Fediverse projects have threads like Twitter/X which consist of any number of technically identical posts. Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams) are more like Facebook, Tumblr, forums or comment sections on blogs or news sites: Their threads consist of exactly one post at the beginning, and everything that follows is not a post, but a comment.
