@datatitian@social.coopI'm working on a new project to add "groups" functionality to the #fediverse. It will work entirely via federation protocols, so you'll keep using your existing #Mastodon or other #ActivityPub app account and join groups by following them.
Also apparently I'm writing the first #NodeJS #Express #MongoDB implementation of #ActivityPub because somehow that doesn't exist yet and hell no I'm not learning another language

@datatitian @tchambers I think that it'll be great if any group has a "profile" with the most usually tags used by the members
@datatitian I have worked on such a project as well. It seems buggy right now, but you can have a look. https://github.com/sgenoud/federa - also https://federa.site
@datatitian Exciting things cooking up
