@TinyHouse4Life @Anon_Z @matty there's 4, 5 years worth of lore as to why they don't exist here. a lot of it has to do with technical limitations of scaling it across the entire fediverse. a few people have taken on the project but it's stagnated because of this. there are group features using external third party instances however, such as a.gup.pe/

basically with this you create a group, then you can follow it like a normal user here and anybody who posts @ it will be reposted on your timeline. similar but not the entire. functionality is similar but it's not as elegant of a solution
