Hubzilla awarded NLnet NGI0 grant for performance and moderation work
I'm really happy to announce that I've qualified for a grant from @
NLnet and their @
NGI Zero open source funding programme for
implementing performance profiling for Hubzilla, and to
improve the Superblock addon! These are projects that has been pushed around for some time already, but thanks to NLnet I can now afford to set of the required time to get this out of the way.
This work will help us understand and fix performance issues both during development/testing and in production. The work on the Superblock addon will improve it to gain modern moderation features required by the fediverse today.
Hubzilla is a fediverse platform with a strong focus on owning and controlling your own data. It is one of the longest running active projects in the fediverse, and has pioneered features like
cross-site authentication,
nomadic identity, comment controls and
granular permissions enforced by the server. With functionality way beyond mere sharing of status updates and posts, Hubzilla is an extensible platform that aims to be a more complete home on the web.
