Question about #Hubzilla:

Does Hubzilla also have a multi-column layout like the “advanced” UI of #Mastodon?

I’m thinking of migrating because of text formatting and for the ability to create much longer posts.

But I’m also a little afraid because I’m old and my cognition seems to flutter increasingly.

@Bonobo No, it doesn't.

Depending on the hub, it does have a choice of themes (Netzgemeinde and hubzilla.de don't), and even then, you can tinker with the layout a lot if you want to.

But it's hard-coded to no more than three columns, one centre column plus a maximum of two sidebars. And since it doesn't have the Mastodon client API implemented, and it never will, you can't use it with third-party apps either.

Be very careful, though, if you do move: Hubzilla is not just Mastodon with more characters and text formatting. There's hardly anything in the Fediverse that does *blogging that's more different from Mastodon than Hubzilla.

On the other hand, Hubzilla probably has the best built-in help of all Fediverse server applications. And it has its own support forums, so if you need help, you don't have to shout into the void and hope that someone will catch your hashtags.
