Ideally the groups should be discoverable through fedi, like mastodon accounts, even if the content and activity of the group can't be made available given what can realistically be achieved at the moment.

For those reading this via @goodnews@a.gup.pe , please shift to following @goodnews@fedigroups.social as the a.gup.pe group will eventually stop to function.

Mastodon se uměl holt "prodat"...

Každopádně nemá časem do Mastodonu podpora skupin přijít?

Zajímalo by mě, jak hodně to bude s Friendicoukompatibilní.

This morning I came across a retrocomputing group/community on another server (https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/retrocomputing)

Is this a new Mastodon thing?

I don't seem to be able to subscribe from my digipres.club account ... Wondering if it requires a newer/different version of the software.

Anyone know?

Meta have started hawking about with adverts in my messenger feed. Can't emphasise enough that if groups come soon to mastodon I'll move away from meta almost exclusively to federated platforms self-hosted by my good self...

Are you #ActuallyAutistic?

Are you missing the #MastodonGroups feature?(was just #middleware anyway after it went #RestInPeace)

So now we got #Lemmy and you can make a #Sublemmit and use it as your group I suppose? Or not...

@stux

You know when you needed a reliable way to have #MastodonGroups and some #Middleware is gonna get retired soon, you actually get #Lemmy and #Kbin to come to the rescue and make a #PermanentSolution of it all.

#Congrats #Fediverse!

fun fact cela fait au moins 5 ans que des tas de gens réclament une fonctionnalité de pages gérées par des groupes de gens sur #mastodon, et un an après des maquettes publiées par l'équipe de com, ce n'est toujours pas en production.
soon.

As an organisation (university of applied sciences) we very much look forward to Mastodon Groups as this feature will hopefully allow us to separate internal conversations from conversations with external stakeholders and with public audiences.

The alternative in the meantime is perhaps to set up a non-federated instance for our internal conversation.

I like the idea of the @bookstodon group, but it just messes up my time line. I would love to be able to see it separately. #MastodonGroups #Groups

@Gargron In all humility, just wondering how it's looking for Mastodon Groups now, a fortnight before the new year.

"(...) Gargron commented on May 23

I believe that when we implement groups, it will remove the need for local-only posting. In our planned implementation, group posts will be separate from other posts, and only go out to the group (...).

Groups are planned for this year (...)"

@a2
i think if you are planning to address a specific group of people you have to use a group server
Group servers does exactly what you need

Where are my Oakland peeps who are trying to build community? I've created a group for us: @oaklandcommunity

Want to join? Just search for the group and then follow. You're in!

This handy-dandy group feature is made possible by Immers Space, a registered worker-owned cooperative. Supah cool!!

@transport Testing use of this group. Would other transport planning related Mastodians be interested in using it as a focus for posts? (Assuming current group users don't object?). If you'd like to try, follow that account, and use it to 'tag' any posts you want to send to the group. It then gets automatically boosted to all followers.
(I also keep accounts like this in my 'Essentials' List so I can avoid missing them).

@woozle My view is that the groups functionality is going to be external to the main Mastodon / ActivityPub layer. Most likely it will be some framework that uses Mastodon* but isn't Mastodon itself. Mastodon-as-transport-layer (with added goodies such as identity management, moderation, notifications, and another set of interfaces into the discussion).

Mastodon as comments-system on blogs seems one approach. I'm not sure that's what a fully-evolved system will look like, but it's at least in the direction of a solution-shaped object, as they say.

@tiago Tiago, this is the most helpful post I’ve seen on #MastodonGroups. Thanks so much for taking the time to write this out. 🙏🏼
