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 🚀

It would be nice if they did it the same way piefed works. GL to the team!
I finally got my pixelfed account approved and I forgot my password like a dummy. I’m worried that clicking ‘Forgot Password’ the first time I go to log in will flag me as untrustworthy somehow. 😅
This is absolutely perfect! The crowd I am following on Pixelfed is pretty much exactly what I am still partially missing on Lemmy. So excited about this. Thanks for sharing!
My understanding is that these groups are separate from the normal Pixelfed feed.
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
Compatible means Pixelfed group = Lemmy community?
He’s mentioned this before, but I’ve never been able to find an actual PixelFed Group (it doesn’t appear to be the same thing as what they call Collections). I’ll have another look when pixelfed.social enables them this weekend (but I suspect parsing titles for the posts will be a nightmare).
Also, ‘smithereen’ is tagged but I’m not sure of its status (all I found was 1 private instance run by the dev, federated with 1 “explicitly-free-speech” Akkoma instance).
