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 @lemmy @Gargron Groups have multiple meanings tho…

    “groups” as in… a.gup.pe - people post into the group account, and it boosts for everybody following the group account to see on the main timeline like any other account.

    groups as in - private group chats - a bunch of people posting to each other (not searchable/not public)

    groups as in subreddits… you subscribe to the group, and you can toot into that group… these toots are inside the group but fully interactive inside the group.
