This thing seems pretty dead, sadly. Here are a couple other self-hosted community sites with NH freedom people on them:

#^https://forum.shiresociety.com - new people signing up regularly!

and the brand new alternative to Twitter: #^https://social.freetalklive.com

That’s like the only thing you post in like a year and you complain it is dead?

I came back because I got a notice that @Varrin Swearingen added me. Then I looked at the activity and saw little going on. Figured people might want to know of other, more active places.

Also tried the Manyverse thing recently, it has promise, but is buggy as hell. My IT guy failed at installing a Pub for that.

By the way you can follow people on that instance with addresses like FTL_Ian@social.freetalklive.com without having to create a new account. (Decentralization, yo!)

Your feed is empty by default on Hubzilla. You have to manually follow people to see activity. Can’t claim that is ideal. Also check out the public feed of people from all over the world: #^https://fsphub.org/pubstream

So there is no way to see activity just in this server?

@Ian Freeman Hmm... there may be an advanced search feature to limit activity to one server but I don’t know how to do that.

@Ian Freeman ☑️ ✅ @Ian Freeman I added your mastodon feed here. I'll be interested in seeing how those interactions work. My purpose here is primarily testing.

@Varrin Swearingen If you see someone you want to follow, click their profile picture then ‘connect’ from the drop down menu. Clicking on their name takes you to another page.

Thank you for that tip! :)
