Various problems with Hubzilla version 3.6.1
Hello.
On the theoretical level Hubzilla seems awesome but unfortunately I'm having many issues with the Hubzilla version 3.6.1 at https://hub.consumium.org.
-
The database is huge(ish). The mysqldump with option --opt is 1.2GB in size even as there doesn't seem to be much activity in the hub. Is there something I can do to get the database to a smaller size? Perhaps some setting to remove old stuff.

Making a new channel fails quietly. I tried to make a new channel and it doesn't show up in the Channel Manager
-
The Channel Manager doesn't give possibility to click on a channel. There are no clickable items in the listing even as the text says to click on the channel you want to choose.

I'm apparently stuck in mobile view where I have to click on the arrow to get the sidebar to appear. I have browsed the various settings but am unable to locate where I can change to web view as it is annoying to need to click the arrow everytime I want to navigate to another item in the navbox. I'm attaching a screenshot so someone can determine if my guess about the mobile view is right.

When I originally installed the Hubzilla I didn't understand that I could have a personal channel without a separate login so I unwittingly made two accounts. I have tried to export the channel to a .json file, remove the channel and try to import the deleted channel to the admin account but that fails quietly (at least the channel doesn't show up). Since that did not work I reverted the database and readded the user's statick files. I'm considering to export the account to another pod, deleting it from my pod and then importing the channel from the other pod. Would this work? I would like to have the hub's administrative channel and my personal channel manageable from a single account.
Kind regards, Juho Kunsola, hub admin at hub.consumium.org
