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

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/3715524

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.

MORE FEDERATION!!! MORE!!! MUHAHAHAHAHA
- FEDERATE THE ENTIRE INTERNET, THE WHOLE WORD

Finally somewhere to move my Facebook group to!

I absolutely love this. Federate all the things!

Maybe this isn't the best thread to ask this but I'll try: is there a way to connect my Mastodon, Pixelfed and Lemmy accounts? I subscribed to Mastodon and Lemmy with my mail but I wish they were more "connceted" with each other, like I could share with ease a post I create here to Mastodon and viceversa. I would also love to create a Pixelfed account. Sorry if the question sounds a lot stupid, I'm still trying to grasp the idea of how Federated internet works.
- You can post to Lemmy from Mastodon by tagging your community with @.
  You can also subscribe to the Lemmy community on Mastodon, for instance here (your comment is visible)

  Very interesting! Thank you very much!
- You can paste a link to a Lemmy post in the Mastodon search bar, which will get the post to show up on Mastodon. You can then interact with it in any way (reply, boost, etc.)

Will the groups also federate with Firefish and Friendica? (Friendica has had a group function for a long time).
- Friendica yes as those are compatible with Lemmy, at least they used to... haven't seen a Friendica post here in a while though 🤔
  
  @poVoq @Blaze @caos 👋 Yoo-hoo, here's a Friendica post. Federation with Lemmy works great from here.
- I'm not sure, are those compatible with Lemmy?
  
  @Blaze @caos The federation between Firefish and Lemmy is problematic. According to a #Firefish admin, this is because Firefish requires "Authorised Fetch", which #Lemmy has not implemented correctly. Here from Friendica it works fine.
