Notices tagged with groups

From the samples I've taken, about 0.85% of accounts on the Fediverse are Group actors. #activitypub #groups

Reclaiming hierarchies, in four parts:

Hierarchies, like positive feedback loops. can be found everywhere. And whether strict/clean hierarchies or messy, can be as oppressive as any going down the drain, any downward spiral. Or, as useful and beautiful as any sunflower or virtuous circle, or other upward spiral!

A friendly reminder for all who are looking for an alternative to gup.pe because it has apparently been taken over by new and/or unknown entities.

tootgroup.py offers group functionality for Mastodon, Pleroma, GotoSocial and probably others (albeit untested). All you need is an account that acts as your group and some computer running Python that regularily connects to it.

Its written by me, easy, lightweight and most importantly, not dependant on a third party service.

Howto and Download from its Github Page: https://github.com/oe4dns/tootgroup.py

The three #Fediverse software with the widest #groups compatibility are:

(in alphabetical order)

- fedigroups.social - see @hello
- Friendica - find a Friendica server and host there
- Hubzilla - find a Hubzilla server and create your group

The rest have various compatibility issues with other Fediverse software (for years), like group posts/boosts not showing up or your posts not getting boosted or you can't follow the group. This includes #threadiverse software.

If you want to have a true fediverse reach, then choose one from those mentioned above until the other software with federated groups feature improves their compatibility with other fediverse software.

HEY LOCALS!

Are you in any a.gup.pe groups?

Because you aren't anymore. The domain got snatched BEFORE expiration, surprising everyone.

(DO NOT USE .PE DOMAINS, they ALLOW this. It's insane.)

Here are more details:

You should find your people and set up a replacement group. People who know are suggesting:

https://about.fedigroups.social/home

...as one possible replacement, but there are others as well.

Also, see announcements for our limit and suspend schedule, I'm not waiting for the buyer to set up a better spam engine, because they will.

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!

#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."

#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."

#ChirpSocial #Fediverse #Groups

Okay, so I just discovered a new platform/service called #FediGroups / #FediGroupsSocial.

It's still on its testing phase, and creation of new groups is by approval.

See: https://about.fedigroups.social for more info.
