The powerful open source privacy-respecting all-in-one home base for collaboration and social interactions.
What is this and what can I build?
The Hubzilla Fediverse Server provides a robust and customizable platform to create a variety of websites, including:
- A Social Media Presence (for yourself or your organization)
- A Social Media Community (just for friends & family, or allow the public to sign up)
- A Website with Built-in Social Media
- Forums & Discussion Boards
- Documentation or Wiki Website
- Content Website or Blog
- Membership Websites
- A Feed Reader (RSS/Atom)
- and more!
You can use some or all of the features. How you configure Hubzilla is up to you.
Furthermore, Hubzilla can be modified with the use of Themes, Addons, and Widgets. This means that you can extend Hubzilla in any number of ways.

Can I see an example?
You are looking at it! This website was created with Hubzilla.
We used the content management features as well as the social media features to create a home base for our open source software. Since social media is built into Hubzilla, our social media presence uses the same domain name as our website.
But your website doesn't have too look exactly like this. Hubzilla is customizable. You can create your own themes, widgets, and addons for a website with your own unique style.
