The issue of SocialHub is an interesting one, because where we are today is an odd situation where you have activitypub developers fragmented across multiple collaborative channels.

• Some discuss their issues on their respective repositories only
• Some discuss on SocialHub
• Some discuss on Matrix channels

However, the bottom line truth is as follows: every ActivityPub developer is on the fediverse, ergo why shouldn't ActivityPub-focused discussions take place on the fediverse as well?

Up until this year, SocialHub has been an island separate from the fediverse. I used this analogy in my talk at fedicon to describe how lonely starting a community can be.

To SocialHub's credit, they have created a community of ActivityPub developers that exists to this day, kudos to them! The question remains now whether SocialHub performing their function adequately — to bring together ActivityPub developers of all stripes.

That's a question worth exploring in and of itself.
