The multi-purpose Hubzilla network is home to nomads and power users. It includes a significant number of features and granular settings. Take your time to explore all of them. If you have questions, don't hesitate to post to developer forums or ask the community. Hubzilla is well connected to the rest of Fediverse and will let you follow users from most other federated networks.

contributing

Please, keep in mind that you are a participant, not a customer.

If you'd like to help the Hubzilla network grow, you can contribute in different ways.

  1. Donate to the administrator of your server (if you have the means to do that).
  2. Set up your own instance, to make federation stronger and healthier, with many small servers.
  3. Spread the word. Invite your friends. Explain why it's important.
  4. Contribute with code. Send a pull request. Resolve an issue. Take a bounty.
  5. Help translating. Design promo materials. Print and distribute stickers.

Thank you. See you in Hubzilla.
