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 groups is definitely something I'm missing here, but I'm not sure if the Pixelfed platform is the most logical place to add it to be honest

@dansup innovate, not imitate. #instagram doesn't have such a feature anyhow

@dansup great!! Extremely useful. The groups are the only feature that keeps me on FB.

@dansup Will this play nicely with Lemmy and Hexbear?

@dansup can't wait :D
it will be probably a bit tricky to explain people outside of fedi-world why groups aren't on Mastodon but on Pixelfed (aka. "this app for photos and pictures") but it's definetely worth to give it a shot and try :D

@dansup Groups is one main reason I still have Facebook. I am looking for an alternative so I can leave the place.

@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.
