Share content only with those you have given permission to access it.
Use or self-host the powerful all-in-one home base for collaborational and social interactions. Beyond being part of the open, interoperable and decentral fediverse, Hubzilla provides full privacy control.
All: The full range of cooperation and social formats
Hubzilla is not limited to a specific type of cooperative and social interaction. You can follow whoever and share exclusively with them whatever you want: local blog articles, news feeds, wikis, webpages, polls, workflow items, videos, images, audio and other files (cloud, webDAV), calendars, address books, federated microblogging posts without length restrictions and more.
In: Connecting to virtually anybody in- and even outside the fediverse
Connect to users from other Hubzilla and Streams servers (through Zot/Nomad), ActivityPub based servers (Friendica, Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, Peertube, Pixelfed, Funkwhale, to name the most common) and Diaspora servers. Cross-post to X. Provide people with no social service account access to your privacy-protected content through "guest tokens". Import RSS feeds from external websites. An RSS feed containing your own posts is provided out of the box.
One: Visionary integration of security, privacy, access control, and ownership
Reveal publications and informations about yourself appropriate to each situation and keep them forever as private as you want – using multiple nomadic identities, organising your connections and access controlling. Keep offensive content away. Privacy respecting technologies are used by default.
Install and update your own hub easily on webhosting, a dedicated / virtual / home webserver or a Raspberry Pi home server with the method of your choice (manual web install, full-service automatic install script, docker container or pre-configured full server images like Yunohost).

Bridges between fediverse protocolsThe first Fediverse services federated only in-service via their specific protocol. To connect these isolated galaxies, Mike McGirvin created Hubzilla's predecessor which was called Friendica (intially Mistpark), with its own protocol, but with support for most other protocols, allowing social postings to be sent to and received from other networks (even some commercial services that offer an open interface).
-
Blogging features, WebDAV, CalDAV and CardDAVAfter Friendica, Mike McGirvin wanted to create something more visionary than a social network, so he developed a network that could handle basically any type of social web content, regulated by a full-fledged access control system, and with sophisticated mechanisms of security, privacy, and ownership. This network was named Redmatrix first and later renamed to Hubzilla, and came with the highly capable protocol Zot.
-
OpenID, remote authentication, nomadic identityHubzilla got enhanced as an OpenID provider, allowing users to log into OpenID-enabled sites with their Hubzilla channels. The Zot protocol has built in nomadic identity and a mechanism which makes it possible to a server to grant or refuse access to content and actions to identities which are registered on a different hub.

Better permissions handlingImproved workflow for setting permissions and streamline the way permissions are set across all relevant modules.
-
Improved guest accessImproved workflow for dealing with guest access tokens and provide quick access where applicable.

Improved page layout editor. Dashboard added.A user interface for the page layout editor was created. The UI allows to drag and drop the building blocks with the mouse. A dashboard which provides a welcome page after login has been added. Various widgets provide an overview of recent activities.
-
Added more functionalites to the dashboard.The dashboard now gives an overview over received posts, divided into public, private and starred ones and those in which the user is mentioned. When it comes to cloud files, wiki pages, photos and webpages, the user sees previews of the most recent created three objects, allowing fast access to them.
