   PS. Groups support is being worked on as a Fediverse Enhancement Proposal (FEP) at the SocialHub. https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks

     #feditips There are actually Fediverse groups called guppes hosted at <a.gup.pe>. It's a bit like Facebook groups, but decentralized. If you follow a guppe, for example @philosophy, you get access to the group's posts on your timeline. If you tag a group like @philosophy, you post to the group and your post will show up in the timelines of the group members.

     A word of warning though: according to the FAQ, there are currently no moderation tools since it's quite decentralized.
     FAQ here: <https://github.com/immers-space/guppe/wiki/Guppe-Groups-FAQ>

     Basically, guppes are like hashtags but they show up in your timelines.

     @abolisyonista @philosophy tried it a bit. It seems a bit half baked. Or like someone hacked some things together on an instance using activitypub protocol to make something a bit like groups. Since it’s all dependent on the functionality of a single instance, it’s prone to be brittle and easy to take down, so I would not trust it to be resilient enough to build any organizing on it. Correct me if I’m wrong. #groups #activitypub #aguppe
