Pixelfed: “groups” are coming and they will be compatible with Lemmy (who knows if they will also be compatible with Friendica)

@fediverse

Groups are not new to Pixelfed, we have webUI support but the feature wasn’t polished enough for use, until now ✨

:pixelfed: Groups will be compatible with #Lemmy, #Mbin, #Smithereen and other projects, and will resemble Facebook Groups in our official app!

Stay tuned, we’ll be shipping the updated Groups support in the app and webUI this weekend 🚀

    From what I can tell, the culture on pixelfed is more chill, whimsical, artsy.

    While lemmy is more technical, politicsy, confrontational etc?

    I haven’t been much on PixelFed since the massive explosion in users though.

      I think pixelfed communities would be a big boon to non-computer science/engineering type hobby communities. Which is a place in which lemmy majorly lacks. So good news imo.

      Because its root is ~Marxist techies, I think it takes many newbies by surprise and is not super enjoyable for the average user.
