I can't wait to officially launch :pixelfed: Groups, and the companion mobile app.

It's a game changer, imagine FB Groups, it's exactly the same!

Compatible with Lemmy, Mbin and Smithereen.

Available Q2.

#pixelfed #groups #fediverse

#Groups are coming to #theFediverse:
"The most immediate change we can expect from this is convergence of many different kinds of platforms all aiming to support the same basic features…could lead towards a large part of the Fediverse moving beyond short-form microblogging.
Another interesting possibility here is that these nascent efforts might lead to some new applications, such leveraging #NodeBB or another piece of software as a replacement for Quora / StackExchange."

#Lawyers and #advocacy #groups advise #members of the #LGBTQ+ #community to take #precautions under #Trump’s #executiveorder

For anyone experiencing #discrimination based on their #genderidentity, #advocacy groups such as #LambdaLegal or the #ACLU, can provide support.

#Sociality of #sleep in animal #groups

"Group-living animals sleep together, yet most research treats sleep as an individual process. Here, we argue that social interactions during the sleep period contribute in important, but largely overlooked, ways to animal groups’ social dynamics, while patterns of social interaction and the structure of social connections within animal groups play important, but poorly understood, roles in shaping sleep behavior."

🌟 @pixelfed + piefed

Pixelfed Groups are here (thanks to funding from @nlnet) and I'm working on adding support for Piefed too!

You can expect a blog post explaining how to enable and use this huge new feature in pixelfed, later this weekend ✨

Pixelfed + Groups ✨

Shipping soon!

Special thanks to @NGIZero for funding this game changing feature!

Groups are nearly finished, and the app too.

Collections and Portfolio features are getting major overhauls, with federation support.

Speaking of federation support, rumour has it that Pixelfed is working on custom domain support so you can bring your own domain to any Pixelfed instance, allowing you even more control, and a fallback in the event you need to migrate and preserve your handle/identity! 👀

#pixelfed #groups #byod #customDomains #federation

There are a lot of new aspects that Groups bring to Pixelfed that are similar to existing microblogging platforms, such as:

- Text only posts
- Quote posts
- Markdown support
- Link cards
- Polls

And more exotic features like:
- Events
- Anonymous Posts (if enabled)
- Multi tenant/dual layer moderation
- Realtime Group Chat

They add significant complexity, but we’re doing this properly, following best practices

It will be worth it, just wait and see 😎

#pixelfed #groups

Still working hard to ship Groups this weekend!

Can't wait 😎

#pixelfed #groups #activityPub #fediverse #lemmy

Still working hard on Pixelfed Groups!

#pixelfed #groups

While refactoring Pixelfed Groups, I wrote a new media processing pipeline that supports libvips and more formats, as well as the logic that handles optimizations, it no longer strips exif data and preserves color profiles and HDR support

It also uploads to S3 and deletes the local copy during the request lifecycle!

I plan on using this in the main app too ✨

#pixelfed #groups #media #libvips

Pixelfed Groups will allow admins to have fine-grained ACL permissions, you will be able to limit specific user permissions!

In addition, admins will have the ability to review all moderation actions from other mods/admins and all actions from the account.

Later we plan to ship support for webhooks, allowing admins to deeply integrate Groups into their platforms or services!

#pixelfed #groups

I'm working on a central link preview service for Pixelfed Groups, eliminating the herd of elephants problem when a post contains a link

Instead of every Pixelfed server fetching that metadata themselves, they will request it from a single server endpoint that I will operate to reduce load on the origin

I understand this may not be ideal, so I do plan on allowing admins to define their own server endpoint, and will be publishing the source code for our implementation!

#pixelfed #groups

Pixelfed Groups are coming along, and I'm hoping to ship v1 this weekend!

We're targeting Lemmy support and the Groups FEP for now, I cant wait to ship this 😎

#pixelfed #groups

I want to thank @NGIZero for funding the development of Groups!

It's wild that Groups are finally coming to Pixelfed in the next few days 😎

#pixelfed #groups

Pixelfed Groups will be compatible with Lemmy, Smithereen and other platforms!

Groups will be coming to our official mobile apps later this summer ✨
