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 ✨

:pixelfeed: 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 🚀

Awesome. This is what I thought Friendica was capable of, but looking forward to see it on Pixelfed.

@Meldrik If Pixelfed groups are compatible with Lemmy and Mbin, then they will also be compatible with Friendica. And Friendica groups are already compatible with Lemmy and they are already compatible with Pixelfed accounts

Waiting for frendica compatibility so we can talk to !nicole@feddit.org

Can't wait for the culture clash between Lemmy and Pixelfed 😅

The more variety the better we are as a social network.

Oh yeah, I'm just not sure how the two groups will interact. Wait until hardcore FOSS defenders learn that the majority of Pixelfed users have iPhones

For an end user iphones arnt that bad tbh just expensive. Says me running the superior GrapheneOS tho.

They're user-hostile from the top down. They've gone to great lengths to ensure they're not repairable. They're responsible for basically all the anti-consumer hardware trends that eventually bleed across the entire industry. And you can only install apps that Apple has put their little rubber stamp on after paying $100/year for the privilege of publishing apps on their platform.
in reply to Ulrich

Ahh I'd never get one for myself. But for the people who don't care about freedom, ownership, and money its great.
in reply to Blaze (he/him)

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.

in reply to FundMECFS

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.

in reply to FundMECFS

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

oh never seen feddit.nu instance before? What region is it for?
in reply to FundMECFS

It's... complicated. It was originally issued for the Polynesian island Niue, but it's currently controlled by the Internet Foundation in Sweden. There are a lot of Swedish sites using it since "nu" means "now" in Swedish. Feddit.nu is the primary Swedish Lemmy instance since Feddit.se was registered but abandoned.
in reply to FundMECFS

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

I'm on both; really enjoying the art sharing community vibe of PixelFed rather than the constant influencer attention seeking shower of IG.
in reply to The Pirate Post

Excited to see Lemmy inundated with random "pic for attention" posts.
in reply to The Pirate Post

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).

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!
in reply to Bunbury

My understanding is that these groups are separate from the normal Pixelfed feed.
in reply to poVoq

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
in reply to Bunbury

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
in reply to JustAnotherKay

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.

BROLIGARCHY

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

in reply to JustAnotherKay

Wish I could take credit. I’ve seen it around and it just fits perfectly when it comes to all those tech bro’s and the way they are acting in relation to politics and power. It’s now just part of my vocabulary.
in reply to The Pirate Post

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. 😅
