As you might have noticed, the Hubzilla based Planets have stopped working a while ago, and shortly after the entire Hubzilla instance stopped federating. I tried for a while to figure out what the issue was, but around the time this happend there was both a major Hubzilla update and one of the backend server, making it difficult to pinpoint where the fault might be.
I don't really know yet what to do with the Planets, but given how little uptake our Hubzilla saw I am not sure if I want to set it up newly on a different server that allows better control over the environment. Of course this is a real pity as the Hubzilla based achivement system @dulsi made is actually quite cool.
Never the less I am tending towards maybe running a Pleroma instance instead as that has planned Lemmy community federation support and overall more user-friendly UI options than Hubzilla.
Anyways, I know @egberto also used the Hubzilla instance quite a bit, so I am mainly wondering how those most effected by this technical problem are dealing with it for now.
TODO:
UPDATE: Planets are now a separate system again.
