/microblogmemes is a great #lemmy community, but there’s something really off about sharing a post from one #fediverse app to another via a screenshot.
Groups support in #Mastodon will start an exciting new chapter in this #interoperability story.
@mike thanks!
Do you have a longer writeup of this somewhere for @dessalines & co. to read up on? Sounds like we’re missing a Private Groups extension to FEP-1b12
The Lemmy issues tracking this:

I’d argue that public groups are the more natural fit for AP though, and therefore still makes sense as the priority. Most fedi communities seem to cover their private group needs with a secure group messenger like xmpp or matrix.
@mike with #NomadicIdentity and/or mainstream OAuth support, a universal protocol for Private Groups might be less important, because at least I could still log into any fedi instance with my fedi-ID to access its private contents.
@mike I’m openly postulating here, not prescribing. I don’t know what the optimal solution is.
