And yes, they are compatible with Lemmy.

Can anyone link some examples?

poVoq@slrpnk.net on 04 Aug 2024 10:06 next collapse

It is not in a Pixelfed release yet, only merged into their public github repo, so I doubt there are any examples other that some internal test groups by the developer.

If you’re wondering about lemmy compatibility: mastodon.social/@pixelfed/112902986123309202

Lemmy and piefed compatibility will be there it seems.

If you’ve got other questions, dansup, lead dev, is pretty outgoing and probably happy to talk.

melroy@kbin.melroy.org on 04 Aug 2024 12:09 next collapse

Or what about Mbin compatibility, eg. this example magazine: https://kbin.melroy.org/m/updates

maegul@lemmy.ml on 04 Aug 2024 12:18 collapse

Dunno. Unfortunately, kbin and mbin may not be in people’s radar.

Hopefully things get standardised well enough that platform specific issues don’t really happen.

@maegul @Die4Ever @dansup has anyone run this code yet out in the wild other then Dan? I would like to see how its working

maegul@lemmy.ml on 08 Aug 2024 00:36 collapse

Nope. Given what povoq says above, it seems it’s not public yet?

Blaze@sopuli.xyz on 04 Aug 2024 10:23 next collapse

Good news!

maegul@lemmy.ml on 04 Aug 2024 10:36 next collapse

Yea … more group things is good news.

Zoldyck@lemmy.world on 04 Aug 2024 11:34 next collapse

How far is the release? I remember from about a year ago the apps would come ‘soon’ onto the app stores, but it’s still not available yet

poVoq@slrpnk.net on 04 Aug 2024 11:41 next collapse

The new app is now available in pre-release state (and works quite well for me), and this group implementation is on their github in what looks like a functional state waiting to be officially released.

But yes, they have been teasing it for years, so it is correct to be sceptical. But it looks like it is really finally happening now.

The target is to release by September 1st.

On Android add this repo to fdroid

Is this like Facebook groups and Mobilizon?

poVoq@slrpnk.net on 04 Aug 2024 13:37 collapse

It seems to be inspired by Facebook groups, yes. I am not sure if there is an event integration yet.
