And Diaspora has seeds and pods and aspects, and Mastodon has toots and instances and blocks and nazis. Your point?
Magic-auth, nomadic identity, and yes even channels are the most appropriate words to describe these Hubzilla concepts to people. Facebook and Twitter (and Diaspora and Mastodon) do not provide any features or data structures matching these concepts so using the same words to describe them would be ludicrous.
A channel is sort of like a Facebook profile, page, and group - combined. It can be any and all of those things. It can be an RSS feed and a Diaspora seed. It's actually anything at all that publishes a post stream.
A hub is sort of like an 'instance' or Diaspora pod, except it has qualities those structures don't have. The concept doesn't exist in Facebook and Twitter. A hub can share web objects privately with members of other hubs and participate in a mirrored directory. A pod or instance cannot do that.
If you use the same words to describe these things, it will cause even more confusion because people coming from other services expect something with the same name to work exactly the same. They most certainly do not, and this is intentional. We all do a few things (sort of) the same, but for the most part each project is a completely different vision and a completely different use case.

There's an 'Articles' feature in hubzilla which is mostly finished but disabled in the code. The only thing it's waiting on is providing summaries, after which point it will be released. An unnamed project really fucked up the ability to federate multi-media articles by usurping the summary mechanism (of not one, but two protocols) for use as content warnings and then filtering out multi-media embedded content. So these articles won't federate; but they will be interactive and easily share-able.

It's in your channel Settings->Additional Features -> Network and Stream Filtering -> Affinity Tool
If you don't see this setting, go to your Account Settings and set your skill level to Novice or higher.

@woozle it's still there. We prefer to let people discover and enable functionality they desire rather than forcing things on them that they may not want.

Hubzilla puts these into an n-s-f-w container. It's a pretty ugly hack given that separate summary and content has been used by news organisations for a good twenty years or more. We have to go out of our way to identify it very precisely as Mastodon's CW hack so we don't add content warnings to legal feeds such as used by CNN or the BBC or even Hubzilla using article mode.

works for me...
-
Should work with identica-mode.el and the twitter_api plugin enabled
-
Diaspora uses the Google public PuSH hub on appspot; which has traditionally had dodgy reliability. Ironically I think it was originally intended to be a showcase of Google's version of magic beanstalk.

FYI - there are webtorrent server and client plugins for hubzilla; so you can copy your videos from any device via webdav and then stream over webtorrent (or via HTML5 directly or via sending/receiving magnet links over ActivityPub to Mastodon and PeerTube)
...and you also get decentralised access control for free.
Shouldn't be difficult at all to connect/extend this to PeerTube given all these existing integration points.

Just a thought - accept/reject as desired. Webpages are designed around long form content; e.g. there isn't any "show more", you see it all. Then post a brief summary with a clean url link in your stream. That's 2 out of 3. Writing a theme derivative for just the page module is a heck of a lot easier than doing a theme for all of hubzilla. That's why we have Comanche - you can theme to the individual page level if you want, but I envisioned it more as theming a look for your webpages (to keep them consistent) and totally separate from your social bits - the latter which involves a shitload of CSS.

In the hubzilla model you aren't tied to a location and can spin up new cloned identities at any time, either from an existing server or a thumb drive. You don't have to migrate your friends because they are all still there. You don't really move - you just show up at a different server.
This is almost trivial for your normal social network. For Hubzilla it's a bit harder as the project is primarily a decentralised CMS and cloud storage resource with distributed access control and decentralised social networking is just icing on the cake. Cloning and syncing a lot of files (some of which may be huge media files or zipped repositories) puts a lot of additional burdens on the sync tools.

Hope you get out of the city (if only briefly) and get a taste of the real Australia. We had a little joey at the back fence last night about 25cm tall (10 inches). Cute little fella. That's something you're not going to see in the SF bay area or probably even at Koala Park. And you haven't lived until you see a bunch of random blokes erupt in spontaneous bush poetry at a country pub.
But that's only if your schedule permits. If not, everybody needs the obligatory snap with the Harbour Bridge and Opera House over your shoulder or a ferry ride to Bondi or Manly Beach.

Enjoy your visit, mate.

Parramatta Road. I know that neighbourhood.

I would rather have honest conversation with one or two people than algorithmically generated "engagement" content with a hundred people any day.
You're shown content that is designed to make you (personally) react and in so doing provide the network operators with more information about what consistently makes you react. Their algorithms learn more about how to control you with every click you make. The guy next door sees entirely different content based on what makes him react. Nowhere are you provided a choice in what you are shown. The network operators can use this information to sell you anything from toothpaste to presidents. Make no mistake, the algorithms know you better than your wife and children. They know exactly what you're going to do. Any illusion of choice is just that - an illusion. You're following the bread trail they designed and laid out for you.
On the free web we generally show you content that you have chosen to view. That's it. The algorithms are under your control and if you suspect otherwise, you are free dump that site or dump that piece of software and go elsewhere.

I always treat people with more respect than they treat me.
