Never anticipated I would add Groups to Pixelfed. I saw how my partner uses FB Groups and it clicked.
This is exactly what we're missing in the fediverse, a means to discover and engage with interests and topics that interest you.
Hashtags and local/network timelines only do so much.
@dansup as others have said, this sounds like a reimplementation of Lemmy. To me, one of the nice parts of the fediverse is being closer to the Unix philosophy of do one thing, do it well, and communicate with an easy/open standard so others can do complementary things.
Pixelfed is for photos. Lemmy (and the others) are for groups.
@dansup who uses Facebook nowadays 😂
@dansup I'm sure you've done the right choice, but have you considered Mobilizion ?
