Comment on Best place for a community alternative to Facebook group?

Pixelfed won’t launch groups anytime soon unfortunately, I’ve followed closely and it seems it’ll be out about the same time as Tesla’s full self driving.

I think the best way would be choose yourself piefed or Lemmy, and then you offer mastodon or pixelfed as places for your users to join and subscribe. So it’s a little more natural to them.

While your goal is noble, reality is that I would expect a very small percentage of people to migrate. Less than one maybe even. I think that even a few hundred more people joining the fediverse here is a great idea, but I don’t want you to be discouraged when it doesn’t turn out the way you hope. People love their platforms. (I also just read your last paragraph after writing this, my bad, glad you’re in the right headspace :)

I had a bad feeling about that with Pixelfed when I saw them repeatedly ignoring questions about when to expect groups, ha! I know you can follow / reply to Lemmy groups with Mastodon, but can you post to them from there? Or from Pixelfed?

  You can from Mastodon! Not sure from Pixelfed but it seems probable? With mastodon it's something like... you just @ mention the community, and have one separate line at the top to become the post title? I think?

  Could try it out, for a migration this size I’d recommend testing it a bit. Try replying to this post via pixelfed

    It seems only image containing content federates to Pixelfed, so text only posts are not visible

  You can but I haven’t test it recently enough to tell you exactly how it work on the lastest software versions.
  
  If you wan to test things for yourself, here’s a dedicated community : !testfediverse@jlai.lu

Pixelfed? That’s an IG emulant. What about Friendica? Do they have groups?
