@Codeberg Hello - Is there a way to group repos together on Codeberg?
My main screen is getting too long. It would be cool if I could have categories or something to break it up.

Here's an explainer why #groups (boost bots) are preferable to #hashtags for organizing a #group of people on #mastodon (or the #fediverse in general):

BTW: I've mentioned "a.gup.pe" (@guppegroups) in the text. Is anyone aware of alternatives that should be added?

Where @ethanz tells us about the cultural power of #DontLookUp:
"But there’s something Don’t Look Up gets right. Many of our #institutions are failing us. The experts don’t know what to do. The feelings of terror and helplessness lead people to behave strangely and unpredictably. McKay doesn’t offer us a solution to an ongoing #apocalypse, but this #film, at its best, offers us a moment of #empathy. Look past the machinations of the politicians and the media stars, and look towards the people in the background trying to make sense of a reality that no longer makes sense, disrupted by #COVID or #climatechange or by a slide into #authoritarianism. If there’s a solution to this polycrisis, this interconnected mess of apocalyptic threats, it’s in the #groups working to live through this scary moment, not through the politicians or celebrities who’ll get to escape to their bunkers or spaceships."

/kbin is dead. Has been since last year. The last instances that haven't moved to Mbin are withering away.
However, in the "Lemmy clone" category, there's also PieFed, and Sublinks is still in development.
Also, the Facebook alternative Friendica ("Facebook alternative" not as in "Facebook clone", but as in "better than Facebook") has had groups since its launch in, 2010, five and a half years before Mastodon. Hubzilla has had groups since 2012 when it still was a Friendica fork named Red. (streams) (2021) and Forte (2024) have groups, too. All four are part of the same software family, created by the same developer. And interacting with their groups from Mastodon is somewhat smoother than interacting with a Lemmy community.
On Friendica, a group is simply another user account, but with different settings: In "Mastodon speak", it automatically boosts any DM sent to it to all its followers. In reality, it's a little more complicated because, unlike Mastodon, Friendica has a concept of threaded conversations. (No, seriously, Mastodon doesn't have it. If you think Mastodon has it, use Friendica for a year or two as your only daily driver, and then think again.)
Likewise, on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte, it's another channel with similar settings.

I mean, the Fediverse already has Lemmy, KBin, and MBin.
So there's already an ecosystem of pre-built communities out there.

From my subjective observations, #group features in #Mastodon would go a long way in making people move from #facebook to here. #Groups is what keeps many users from #migrating.
And user want to access these groups in one place, not several,
they want the possibility to create them to just be there, not to have to code or integrate.
EDIT: Thanks for boosting everyone, I FOUND IT! It's Tommy D - Pretty Much Bayside https://soundcloud.com/user-347580189/pretty-much-bayside
Hey #fediverse, it's been a while now that I'm looking for this 
#house #track that #pingu likes so much. Really hope that I'm connected to the right bubble of #musicnerds who can help me find the track #id. If anyone knows good #groups that this post should travel to, please do mention them. Thanks!

@Jasper Bienvenido The only talk about a Discord "alternative" in the Fediverse comes from people who want 1:1 clones of all kinds of commercial stuff with an absolutely identical UX, but free and open-source and decentralised with ActivityPub.
Otherwise, for just simply chatting, including multi-user chatrooms, there are Matrix (iOS/Android: Element) and XMPP (iOS: Monal IM, Android: Conversations). They are not part of the Fediverse, but they are free, open-source and decentralised. And they are alternatives to iMessage, Telegram and WhatsApp as well.
For discussion groups/forums, and very much in the Fediverse as in connected Mastodon, there are

Groups are not new to Pixelfed, we have webUI support but the feature wasn't polished enough for use, until now 
Groups will be compatible with Lemmy, Mbin, Smithereen and other projects, and will resemble Facebook Groups in our official app!
Stay tuned, we'll be shipping the updated Groups support in the app and webUI this weekend

Most of the Jewish anarchists, even, expressed similar views. Yanofsky, editor of the Freie Arbeiter Stimme, went still further. He kept up a campaign against Czolgosz, also denouncing me as an irresponsible person and declaring that he would never again speak from the same platform with me. The only ones who had not lost their heads were of the Latin groups, the Italian, Spanish, and French anarchists. Their publications had reprinted my article on Czolgosz that had appeared in Free Society. They wrote sympathetically of Leon, interpreting his act as a direct result of the increasing imperialism and reaction in this country. The Latin comrades were anxious to help with anything I might suggest, and it was a great comfort to know that at least some anarchists had preserved their judgment and courage in the madhouse of fury and cowardice. Unfortunately the foreign groups could not reach the American public.
What is this thing called Fedi "groups" that I hear is being developed? Anyone know anything about what they can be used for in a platform-agnostic context?

Yeah. I feel like when we finally get Facebook style groups on the Fedi, it will go to a whole new level. I'm aware that there's a couple of different implementations floating around out there, but they don't seem consistently supported across fedi apps, nor decently featured (eg private groups, group admins etc)

BTW, a nice thing about #groups on Mastodon: you can set up a List and use it to follow the group name. That way, group posts will be neatly and conveniently saved in a separate area from your Home feed, which probably deals with a host of other subjects.

@BenBot sounds like need some groups! #godot #groups #darkmagic
Entrevue super intéressante sur Mastodon et le Fédivers, avec 2 personnes que j'aime beaucoup: Erin Kissane et Darius Kazemi https://overcast.fm/+BFLqHoz-ko
Iels parlent des nouveaux développements dans le Fédivers, de la modération décentralisée, de l'importance des groupes privés auto-gérés sur les médias sociaux, et de l'arrivée de Bluesky.
Et le langage utilisé est accessible. Pas trop de jargon d'ingénieurs
