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 🚀

Compatible means Pixelfed group = Lemmy community?
It would be nice if they did it the same way piefed works. GL to the team!
Excited to see Lemmy inundated with random “pic for attention” posts.
Waiting for frendica compatibility so we can talk to !nicole@feddit.org
Can’t wait for the culture clash between Lemmy and Pixelfed 😅
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.
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.
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
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.
Awesome. This is what I thought Friendica was capable of, but looking forward to see it on Pixelfed.
