Update on Pixelfed groups

mastodon.social pixelfed (@pixelfed@mastodon.social)

Attached: 1 image ✨Groups by Pixelfed Imagine if you could bring Facebook Groups to the fediverse, using your Pixelfed account! Pixelfed Groups will be a separate and optional package that admins can install if desired. Groups will ship with: - Private Groups - Mobile App - Web UI - Client API ...

Shipping soon (tm) but we heard that before. Still looking forward to it and they explicitly mention Lemmy compatibility.

However for the app API they probably should have just made it compatible with Lemmy apps 🤷‍♂️

Yay for the mentioned Lemmy compatibility.

But wait, there's more, we're standardizing our Groups implementation so other projects can take advantage of our App and Client API.

So its compatible with lemmy but uses a different API and they want their API to be the standard for the threadiverse? This is why we should be using the C2S, but since we're not you should just stick with the lemmy api since that's where the client ecosystem is already at.

Pretty epic to be fair. Especially the Lemmy compatibility.

Any indications yet of how this may compare to similar group features or focuses via Friendica and Mobilizon respectively?

Great news!

- Pixelfed is more like Mastodon for images, you follow people not communities.
