Looks as if I’ll be most active on Hubzilla going forward.

You should set up a Pluspora account too. It’ll only take a minute, & there are already nearly 6000 plussers there now.
pluspora.com – This account is for keeping up with my G+ friends.

You can follow plussers from Hubzilla, which is what I do. I’m also mathew@diasp.org in case Hubzilla proves a mistake in the long term.

Your Readme on github about working with custom elements ends with a broken link (‘here’). Slightly off-topic, but I would not have landed there without the summary that you posted on hubzilla.

Pieter Lamers thanks I’ll take a look at the breakage. You will see a repo with the files that I’m working on. The idea is to publish it as a book. The chapters are readable as markdown.

Yeah, I’ll join as many as I can, but it is hard to divide your attention between them all. The nicest thing for me about Google+ was that notifications were just a click away in Gmail and Google search. It made it really easy to form a habit. These other ones, I’ll have to make an effort to visit, which I tend not to do unless it is really interesting.

Here’s one I joined a while back and haven’t used in months. It’s a Vue.js app loosely modeled on Reddit. The server and front-end is open source, but it isn’t distributed like Diaspora. Checking it again today, almost all the groups I’ve joined are showing activity no more recent than 4 months ago. It seems like people lost interest in it.

Ramin Honary Pluspora has the option of browser notifications, so you’ll know immediately if you get one. I enabled it, & it works well.

I have an emotional problem with some of the names of the forums. Pluspora is ugly, Mastodon sounds like a contraction of masturbate and some drug ending in ‘don’ and diaspora has a negative connotation of being chased apart. I can live with WeMe and Minds. Ploos is the best, of course.

I agree. They should have a more agreeable name.
