Clones (Channel Aliases) and ActivityPub
The other day I learned something interesting. For ActivityPub followers, Hubzilla uses your clones to send messages to your followers on that clone.
The short version is that if you have your Hubzilla channel cloned onto more than one server, followers of primary@example.com will receive your messages from example.com, while followers of clone@example.social will receive your messages from example.social. This happens after the clones are synced.

It is a rather ingenious way of dealing with the fact that most other platforms do not recognize the concept of nomadic identity.
