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 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]].

Channels can be exported in their entirety with an optional built-in "app", and they can be imported into accounts. This is not for moving channels which nomadic identity can handle much more easily and gracefully, but rather for local backups.

Hubzilla supports single sign-on via {{Internal Link |target=What is OpenWebAuth? |link-name=OpenWebAuth}}. If you're logged in, other instances with OpenWebAuth can recognise you and, for example, give you special permissions. OpenWebAuth even takes into account which one of your channels is currently active.
