Suggestion for size reduction

Hubzilla is a very complex piece of software with vastly more features than Mastodon. And besides, even the features that both have are a lot different on Hubzilla. That's why this article is so extensive.

Before loads of content end up being cut and shifted to "advanced" articles, my suggestion is to write new articles about certain aspects in which Hubzilla is very similar to Friendica, (streams) and Forte and put that content into these articles. It'd also keep these aspects from being explained four times over.

And generally, I guess the wiki could use an article on conversations and how they generally work.

But the lists with differences should be left untouched.

Re-write by someone with practical experience with Hubzilla

Both Hubzilla pages read like they were copy-pasted from official material which, in turn, was written by backend devs who only "speak backend dev". They both don't speak a language which a common user could understand.

Suggestion: Since I've been familiar with Hubzilla for years now, up to and including temporarily running my own hub, I could take some time and re-write them.

While doing so, I could create a separate article about the channel concept which Hubzilla has in common with (streams) as well as several now-defunct projects. This article could be linked to from the corresponding pages. That way, it won't have to be explained separately several times. --Jupiter Rowland (talk) 15:13, 14 August 2023 (CEST)
