Oh, Zot! Nomadic Identity is Coming to ActivityPub: This could change the Fediverse forever

Years before there was Mastodon and even ActivityPub, there was Mike Macgirvin who created the Zot protocol, which Hubzilla runs on. One of Hubzilla’s most amazing features (apart from also integrating with Activity and the Fediverse, and having cha ...continues

@danie10 can you give a little hint on how to use/activate this Nomadic Identity function so we could try it and understand what it is and how it works. I looked at my profile settings and didn't find any mention of it.

@danie10 thank you, I think I got it, though I should admit everything is really difficult to find with interface - even just to get to this Import function where Nomadic Identity is hidden you should unintuitively go to "Channels" - "Create new channel" page instead of just simply find it in Settings menu like with Mastodon.

@fisunov and #Hubzilla is now quite an old network. Mike has long moved onto other projects. But he is here on the Fediverse at @mikedev so I'll be watching his posts closely.

@danie10 A team had taken over the development from Mike and is currently continuing it.

There will certainly also be improvements to the UI.

@hamiller_friendica really hoped we'd see a Docker version to install as the one's I found were updated many years ago e.g. github.com/Grawl/hubzilla-dock

@Hamiller Friendica @fisunov It's mostly the main dev, @Mario Vavti, doing the work. He's currently preparing the release of Hubzilla 9.

Independently, @Scott M. Stolz is working on all-new UIs for Hubzilla, and then he wants to write a documentation on how to make a Hubzilla UI. @𝓒𝓱𝓻𝓲𝓼 is cooking up some UIs for special use-cases, too, IIRC. I hope the days of Redbasic's supreme rule are counted.

Ten months older than Mastodon, even if you don't count the Red Matrix.

Mike has long moved onto other projects.


More than any other Fediverse dev. Every last one of them can be traced back to being forked from Hubzilla.

But he is here on the Fediverse at @Mike Macgirvin 🖥️ so I'll be watching his posts closely.


Do so. It's interesting. Mind-blowing even if you aren't used to Hubzilla.
