Pixelfed is adding Groups, similar to communities, which will federate with Lemmy, Kbin, and Mastodon

NicoCharrua@lemmy.ca to Fediverse@lemmy.world – 476 points –

The beta for groups will release later this week, which won't be federated initially. Federation will be added afterwards.

Looks like it will have some interesting features like videos, polls, and events, as well as moderator tools like limiting what a user can do.

A menu in Pixelfed titled 'Limit Interactions' which shows that a moderator can prevent specific users from posting, commenting, or liking posts and comments.

lemmyloves.art was just created and there’s also literature.cafe, but there definitely should be more focused instances being created, instead of general-purpose ones.

Thanks for the shout out! I agree, more niche hobby focused instances are better.

Thank you for actually creating it! Moderating even a small community is difficult, I cannot even imagine what it’s like for a whole instance. I wish you luck and hope it takes off!
