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.

A menu in Pixelfed titled 'Limit Interactions' which shows that a moderator can prevent specific users from posting, commenting, or liking posts and comments.

Looks smooth and I can see a lot of good things about this, but I also hope it doesn't slowly shift Pixelfed away from being an image sharing site. I really don't want my feed over there cluttered up with other things than photography and occasional traditional art - polls and text posts is just not what I'm there for.

Still, I'm sure they've thought about that, and there's some great potential for art groups. :)

God forbid our endless feed of cat pictures and black and white telephone poles gets polluted!

I just saw this response. Our telephone poles are safe - text posts will be groups only.
