On top of that, Hubzilla kept Friendica's multiple profile per account and optionally offers multiple profiles per channel. You can assign specific profiles to your connections and show them different sides and aspects of your identity.

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.
