The beta for groups will release later this week, which won’t be federated initially. Federation will be added afterwards.
Looks like it will have some interesting features like videos, polls, and events, as well as moderator tools like limiting what a user can do.

Aw thank you for the shout out! I run lemmyloves.art as well as literature.cafe I contemplated making an art focused instance on pixelfed over lemmy but the software just generally isn’t there yet imo. Maybe someday I might give it a shot provided if I get donations to help sustain my current instances on lemmy. I like pixelfed and it’s rapidly development though, it’s extremely promising.
I just made an account on literature.cafe last night. :) Haven’t gotten around to logging in and doing anything yet, but I like having a couple alts to see unique local feeds and such, and yours looked so interesting! I love how federation allows for those kinds of interest-specific instances. Can’t wait to explore yours. :)
