   @neutrinoless @sparky A year ago, the original creator of Statusnet (which powers Chirp!) created a new social network protocol, Pump.io. I've been running a Pump.io instance called "The Hub" (https://hub.polari.us) since then. Besides the web client, there are now clients available for most mobile platforms (Android and iOS). In terms of ability to communicate, share images, privacy controls, etc. it is my favorite open, federated social network. If you would like accounts, let me know. I have to create them manually (registration is not open on the site), so let me know what usernames you want. I am using "steve" (https://hub.polari.us/steve) and jodi is "jodi" (https://hub.polari.us/jodi). Writing programs that speak to pump.io instances is fairly easy. I wrote a "botscript" that posts the current weather conditions in Allen (https://hub.polari.us/weather_allen_tx) and uses the "p" tool based on "PyPump," a Python library for talking to Pump.io instances.

     I, a lowly user, never figured out the thing.

     What, specifically, @jasrandal, were the issues you had? It's difficult to address any concerns you have, as a user, with pump.io without more specificity.

     Couldn't figure out how to use it, nor find people on it, someone to follow. Found it very strange.
     
     Isn't gnusocial soupposed to advise when somebody answers a post? I got no notice of your reply, just stumbled on it.

     I put @jasrandal in the reply, which should have notified you, but for some reason (maybe because I don't yet follow you...) it didn't turn that into an active mention in the reply... hopefully you will see this.
     
     I will post some helpful tips for all on being a straight-forward user on Pump.io. Perhaps this will be useful to you.

     @jasrandal Do you block JavaScript? I believe that hubub uses that to display the stream of posts. My hubub is certainly showing posts. Screencap attached. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/431

     Hi, Steve, nope, it's working, but I probably have an older version of it, since I'm on an old version of OS X. That's probably what the problem is. I'm having hiccups more and more of late. When I get to the US, I plan an update, so maybe that'll get me squared. Thanks!

     Sorry, I forgot that GNU Social doesn't treat messages starting with "@" as direct messages - that invite was for @sparky and @neutrinoless... :-)
