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

Sure, but I still suspect that we’ll get a large influx of crafters and other artists that will be visible in Lemmy directly. Still very much excited
I’ll really really appreciate this. I like having a few federated services to bounce between when I’m bored, but not a huge fan of actually using pixelfed since it’s more akin to social medias I never used. Having pixelfed content more easily accessible in Lemmy will make it a lot easier for me to interact with larger portion of the Fediverse
I love Pixelfed specifically because of the artsy, visual inspiration. I dearly miss browsing through my instragram feed and getting incredibly inspired by seeing people create amazing and beautiful things, including using techniques and crafts I had never even heard of before.
Pixelfed is starting to kind of be that for me, but Reddit did some of that too. Some of the most niche crafts even had their own subreddits. I just want to be able to be inspired by my social media feed again - ideally without algorithms aiming to get me stuck there. And without the broligarchy threatening to take it away at any moment.

Brother that is the funniest fucking portmanteau I’ve seen in ages. Thank you for this lmao
