   Yesterday I did a quick test drive of a #Hubzilla instance. It was a somewhat mindtwisting experience for me as a Mastodon user, in a similar way to how Mastodon/Twitter was mind-twisting for me coming from a Livejournal/Dreamwidth/Facebook background.

   But it has some really nice features and might be exactly the thing that some folks are looking for.

     I'd been under the impression that Hubzilla runs on ActivityPub, but evidently that isn't quite correct. As I understand it, Hubzilla runs on a protocol called Zot.

     If you want to federate with accounts on ActivityPub, you need to install the ActivityPub app on your Hubzilla account.

     This was fairly straightforward to do, but realizing that this was necessary was not straightforward.

     Unlike Mastodon, Hubzilla doesn't come with all functinality pre-loaded. Hubzilla comes with some core functionality, but depending on what you want to do with it, you---as a user, mind, not an admin---may need to install feature sets.

     I *think* these feature sets are the equivalent of extensions or plug-ins but are called "Apps", which confused me slightly.
