=== Compatibility between Hubzilla and (streams) === | |||
Compatibility between the currently two implementations of nomadic identity is highly limited even though (streams) is a descendant of Hubzilla, and its Nomad protocol is a descendant of Hubzilla's Zot protocol. | |||
Synchronised clones are only possible within the same server software. It is not possible to create a synchronised clone of a Hubzilla channel on (streams) or vice versa. | |||
Using nomadic identity tools to move a channel from Hubzilla to (streams) is possible: The channel has to be manually exported from Hubzilla and then manually imported into a (streams) account. But since Nomad is so much more advanced than Zot, moving a channel from (streams) to Hubzilla is impossible without manipulating the exported channel, and manipulated exported (streams) channels can damage entire Hubzilla hubs upon import, so it is officially declared impossible. | |||
