Yes, the profile picture is the same but background picture and whether especially notification settings are different on purpose. Different discourse, different community, different lightyear That’s what I’m thinking too. I don’t see myself wanting the same notification settings all that often. Doesn’t feel like it’s worth the overhead. Additional outgoing requests is also always a concern. I’ve been burned many times before with WordPress’ Jetpack. I see the most value in accumulated stats, more akin to StackExchange. Here’s the coolest use case scenario for me: - Fellow user checks out my profile on [jmonkeyengine.org](http://jmonkeyengine.org) - Because I’ve opted in to Discourse Hub, this user can see that I’ve got a “Global Account” of some sort. - Through this global account, this user can know at a glance what other Discourse communities I’m part of, and where I’ve been the most active, like [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org) for instance. Heck, this could even grow into an open standard for forums. Let me show people all the Vanilla and VBulletin forums they can find me on as well! --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/revitalizing-the-discourse-hub/15029)._
