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.

There’s a lot of the same people on both. Like me!

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.

Yeah, agreed. More content in these fields will help attract and retain more casual users on Lemmy.

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