and this is a more general explanation on github

The step you should take care of is the fourth:

you have to provide your server url

Hubzilla

Back to hubzilla, firts look if your server has this featured addon enabled. Otherwise this tutorial is useless.

You'll be asked for:

• OAuth Consumer Key
• OAuth Consumer Secret
• Base API Path (remember the trailling / )

all from first step, and

You may create different connections for every Channel on your Hubzilla account, to target specific audiences.

At some point you'll create a PIN code at gnusocial and enter it at hubzilla to verify the connection.
