Are there automated tools to crosspost between #Hubzilla (or #Streams I guess) and #Friendica? If so, in what direction(s)?

@dynamic What you could do is as follows:

Follow your own Friendica account from your Hubzilla channel.
Activate the Channel Sources app on your Hubzilla channel.
Add your Friendica account as a source in Channel Sources.

That way, Hubzilla will always automatically repost everything you post on Friendica.

Channel Sources could be described as a kind of universal reverse cross-poster. Reverse because it isn't "Hubzilla to something else", it's "anything that Hubzilla can connect to to Hubzilla". It could serve as a Friendica-to-Hubzilla cross-poster, as a Mastodon-to-Hubzilla cross-poster, as a Diaspora*-to-Hubzilla cross-poster, as an RSS-to-Hubzilla cross-poster (been there, done that, probably angered countless Mastodon users) etc.

The obvious downside is that these reposts are dumb copies which receive their own thumbs up, thumbs down, repeats and comments. None of this is sent back to Friendica. You still have to check your Hubzilla channel once in a while and, for example, reply to comments.

Also, I'm not sure what'd happen if you commented on something on Friendica, regardless of whether your Hubzilla channel is aware of that discussion or not. It could be that Channel Sources would also cross-post your comments and do so out-of-context.

And it seems to be Hubzilla-exclusive. (streams) doesn't have it anymore.
