Pixelfed: "groups" are coming and they will be compatible with Lemmy (who knows if they will also be compatible with Friendica)

@fediverse

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!

Stay tuned, we'll be shipping the updated Groups support in the app and webUI this weekend πŸš€

Can't wait for the culture clash between Lemmy and Pixelfed πŸ˜…

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 38 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

The more variety the better we are as a social network.

[–] piratepost@poliverso.org 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

@muntedcrocodile @Blaze There will be no culture clash: Lemmy communities are already compatible with Pixelfed accounts

Does modding work across PF - Lemmy?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, I'm just not sure how the two groups will interact. Wait until hardcore FOSS defenders learn that the majority of Pixelfed users have iPhones

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 3 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

For an end user iphones arnt that bad tbh just expensive. Says me running the superior GrapheneOS tho.

"not that bad" β€” a very comfortable and well-decorated prison. But you can't blame pixelfed for every poor choice its users might make in their lives.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

They're user-hostile from the top down. They've gone to great lengths to ensure they're not repairable. They're responsible for basically all the anti-consumer hardware trends that eventually bleed across the entire industry. And you can only install apps that Apple has put their little rubber stamp on after paying $100/year for the privilege of publishing apps on their platform.

Ahh I'd never get one for myself. But for the people who don't care about freedom, ownership, and money its great.

[–] clockworkrat@slrpnk.net 17 points 19 hours ago

I'm on both; really enjoying the art sharing community vibe of PixelFed rather than the constant influencer attention seeking shower of IG.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

From what I can tell, the culture on pixelfed is more chill, whimsical, artsy.

While lemmy is more technical, politicsy, confrontational etc?

I haven’t been much on PixelFed since the massive explosion in users though.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I think pixelfed communities would be a big boon to non-computer science/engineering type hobby communities. Which is a place in which lemmy majorly lacks. So good news imo.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, agreed. More content in these fields will help attract and retain more casual users on Lemmy.

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

oh never seen feddit.nu instance before? What region is it for?

[–] guy@piefed.social 1 points 11 hours ago
[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It's... complicated. It was originally issued for the Polynesian island Niue, but it's currently controlled by the Internet Foundation in Sweden. There are a lot of Swedish sites using it since "nu" means "now" in Swedish. Feddit.nu is the primary Swedish Lemmy instance since Feddit.se was registered but abandoned.

Interesting. Thanks for the background.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 1 points 10 hours ago

There's a lot of the same people on both. Like me!

Because its root is ~Marxist techies, I think it takes many newbies by surprise and is not super enjoyable for the average user.

[–] Corgana@startrek.website 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Healthy for Lemmy, totally catastrophic for Pixelfed.

Lemmy could pop their bubble of peace with politics and confrontation.
