Translations:What is Hubzilla?/84/en

From Join the Fediverse
  • No official mobile app named "Hubzilla"
  • No iOS apps available, no alternative to the Web interface on iPhone and iPad
  • The only working Android app, Nomad, is abandoned and hasn't been maintained in years
  • Incompatible with Mastodon apps
  • Cumbersome, maze-like default Web UI that hasn't changed much since 2012
  • Much more difficult to use
  • Incomplete and partially very outdated documentation
  • ActivityPub is deactivated on new channels by default and has to be manually activated
  • No Unlisted setting
  • No per-post language choice
  • No built-in translator
  • No "Mastodon-style" content warnings for comments
  • No boosts; only does quote-tweet-style "shares" instead
  • Existing content warnings aren't automatically taken over when replying
  • No automatic mentions when replying (unnecessary for Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams), but mandatory for Mastodon & Co.)
  • Separate way of mentioning privately may be confusing
  • Post and comment editors geared towards desktop/laptop computers with hardware keyboards
  • Adding images to posts much less straight-forward
  • Alt-text has to be manually edited into BBcode, no official documentation for this and no UI element either
  • Posts and comments often not shown on Mastodon as they were written due to incompabilities
  • Ignores not given full-text search opt-in
  • Regular filters are impractical to the point of bordering on useless, depending on the intended use-case
  • Not nearly as many channels possible on one hub as accounts are possible on one Mastodon server
