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

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.
Yeah, agreed. More content in these fields will help attract and retain more casual users on Lemmy.
oh never seen feddit.nu instance before? What region is it for?
Sweden
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.
