There are a lot of new aspects that Groups bring to Pixelfed that are similar to existing microblogging platforms, such as:
- Text only posts
- Quote posts
- Markdown support
- Link cards
- Polls
And more exotic features like:
- Events
- Anonymous Posts (if enabled)
- Multi tenant/dual layer moderation
- Realtime Group Chat
They add significant complexity, but we’re doing this properly, following best practices
It will be worth it, just wait and see 😎
