question for the #lemmy users and #activitypub developers out there:

now that @lemmy is seeing a spike in interest, and @Gargron has said he’s interested in building out groups on #mastodon - this seems like the right time to update ActivityPub protocol to support groups natively. anyone looking into this?

lemmy’s integration into mastodon is pretty janky right now and can be a lot better!

    @jessel what does “support groups natively” mean to you ?

    There are Group objects in the ActivityPub vocabulary already.

    Posting to a group is already covered by well trodden interactions.

    With a little charity with regards to the interpretation of some other vocabulary activities we can say that joining/leaving a group are also there.

    What more do you think is needed?

      @mariusor i guess help me understand how we, as mastodon users, can browse and interact with lemmy content without having to use their UI or account?

      if i follow @lemmy on mastodon, it seems to be a feed of unstructured replies and comments that don’t have logical cohesion. is that because they are not using the Group objects in ActivityPub? and/or the Mastodon client doesn’t support Groups natively?
