I'm thinking about replacing this hubzilla instance with Osada or Pleroma or something, though it would be wise to clone it first. Will work on that as a first stage.

update: efforts to clone to Disroot failed miserable - maybe because I had a previous instance there (tried via both direct cloning and file import)

maybe I will update the hubzilla instance, before playing with other systems. The cause of my dissatisfaction is the emptiness of my stream - it seems to get dominated by one or two people, and I suspect that it is not bringing posts by some of my connections.
