How to add your Hubzilla channel to Fediverse.info<\/strong>
If you want to add your Hubzilla channel to the project-independent Fediverse People Directory at Fediverse.info<\/a>, but you're struggling to get it submitted, here is a how-to which worked at least for me.
Step 0: Obviously, you have to have PubCrawl activated.<\/strong> Being on Fediverse.info is kind of senseless without PubCrawl because it's mostly for a Mastodon audience. If you don't want to have PubCrawl on, stop right here and rely on Hubzilla's own directories instead.
Step 1: Prepare your profile.<\/strong> If you've got multiple profiles, prepare your default<\/em> profile.<\/strong> Edit it. Open the "Miscellaneous" tab.
There you have to edit the "About me" field. It's the equivalent of the self-description on Mastodon, so it'll be your Fediverse.info profile text. Describe yourself there.
At the bottom, add hashtags.<\/strong> Fediverse.info reads hashtags, but since it's built against Mastodon, it can't read Hubzilla's keyword field. It can only read hashtags from the "About me" field.
Most importantly: Add the hashtag #fedi22<\/a>.<\/strong> Fediverse.info won't add your channel without it.
Step 2: Let the changes settle.<\/strong> Don't advance to the next step until at least 15 minutes later. Maybe do something else in the meantime. But don't forget what you were doing here.
Step 3: Go to the Fediverse.info directory page (see the link at the top).<\/strong>. Click on "Add Account". Go on and confirm that you've added #fedi22<\/a> to your profile. If you haven't, go back to step 1 and 2 and come back to step 3 later.
Step 4: Add your full channel URL<\/a>\u200b.<\/strong> Only this works. Your Fediverse ID () does not, regardless of with or without a leading @, neither does your profile URL<\/a>.
Step 5: Click Proceed.<\/strong>
You should get a message that includes the hashtags discovered in the "About me" field except for #fedi22<\/a>. This means your channel has been added.
This method might also work with (streams), only that Fediverse.info doesn't know (streams), and most (streams) instances don't identify as "Streams" anyway.<\/div><\/div>
