@pixelfed I am hoping that I could use something like this to backup a group from FB that is a repository of historic town photos - and if I can convince folks to migrate to PF they could add photos or at least interact from a Mastodon account. Can membership to a group be approval-based? Can trolls following from another instance be banned?

@pixelfed as someone who built a photo-sharing service in the past (Adobe Revel), I'm delighted by this but very interested in private (family) sharing vs. public sharing. Does Pixelfed support that? It seems more public-oriented.
