From what I know, Friendica, Hubzilla and Mobilizon already have groups, Pleroma is planning. Am I missing any other potential candidate to eventually federate with Lemmy?
Smithereen has groups (https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen). It’s still wip, but the creator posts frequent updates on his account @[email protected].
I’ve been following him for a while, so if anything interesting maybe I’ll make another post.
