they dont want you to stub your toes against the corners.

I’m thinking of the level of different content/functionality that facebook has, posts, audience control, private/group messaging, groups, marketplace, events.

If you spend your time looking beyond the 'mainstream' fedi platforms this problem has been solved by a family of softwares, hubzilla has them all, streams, forte, friendica have more or less most of what you listed.

i've been a huge fan of hubzilla, it lets you host a complete website, events, wiki, chat, shopping cart, crossposting etc. anything you could ask but it had a downside that the UI was built on php and made things difficult for a newcomer. As of now this issue is also being solved by a modern responsive theme built by me. its an experiment but coming along fine, eventually it would be support all of hubzillas features coupled with a neat UI. I'm testing this on my hub and can be previewed at https://utsukta.org/channel/utsukta-themes

posting from my lemmy account because for some reason lemmy.world rejects my comments from my hub.

hubzilla has private forum/group feature.

this exists, its called OWA (open web auth) (https://magicsignon.org/page/openwebauth/fep) and is implemented in hubzilla and other softwares of the family.

also this repo is quite old, the original source is at framagit https://framagit.org/hubzilla/

thanks, hubzilla is meant for individuals and is more of a publishing/online presence management platform. definitely worth trying if you want to try something new.

And i have tried your suggestions and communications seems to be only one way lemmy -> myhub. the other way i get a 403 error in delivery reports.

yes, i think it should be since due to hubzilla's federated login this becomes a federated marketplace where a person from a different hub can buy/sell from/to people from other hubs seamlessly.

hubzilla has wiki feature but its federated over zot protocol, you can share updates via activitypub(it has both) as status updates but to collaborate on a wiki people will need to be on zot supported platforms.

yes, they could do with some polish and better documentation.

it supports encryption too

yes its a good featureful project but the landing page doesnt convey that, homepage of the project doesnt look serious (compared to say bonfire/misskey etc. where you know exactly what the project is about on their project page), aesthetics matter too eventually. and someone wanting to know more about the project wouldnt know anything beside what the homepage shows, no matter how good documentation has been made by users.

hubzilla does that. its a fork of friendica and implements some novel features.

this portable identity feature has existed for a number of years in hubzilla, its implemented as its own 'zot' protocol, offering nomadic identity as well as account cloning(redundancy).

hubzilla does marketplace too, it has a cart plugin that lets a user host their own shop. should be updated
