I implemented groups in @pixelfed back in 2021, but never shipped it

It lead to Mastodon and other projects to start working on groups too

The main reason I've been holding off is because I want to get this right and provide a FB like groups experience

I'm no longer putting this off, and @pixelfed Groups will set a high bar in terms of group administration, moderation and portability.

It's not who did it first, it's who did it right 😎

@dansup @pixelfed that looks fantastic! From the recent feedback on lemmy and kbin, it looks like moderation tools/features are more important than the actual user facing stuff. Having never mod’d a community it's not something that really occurred to me, but I see how crucial it is now

Cool, though facebook-groups was always pretty crappy wasn't it? I'm sure you can find better ways to index and order posts than whatever mad algorithm they used.

@dansup @pixelfed Awesome!

You may also want to look at the Flickr group experience; IMHO, it works nicely for themed photography, and has useful affordances such as configurable per-user throttling
