Pixelfed, an alternative to Instagram, has matured over the years. One of its biggest, most powerful features is about to touch down - federated groups. And it will be compatible with Lemmy and Kbin.

The biggest, most significant reveal at this stage of development is that Pixelfed’s groups feature will be launching with compatibility for both Lemmy and Kbin, officially connecting Pixelfed to the rest of the “threadiverse” that the other two platforms occupy.

From my understanding, we'll be able to see Pixelfed groups on Lemmy just like any other community and follow them. There could be a group/community, where people publish photos of cats, their art, urban photography, etc.

Will all images be federated from Pixelfed to Lemmy and vice versa? Between Lemmy and Mastodon Pleroma etc., only one image is currently federated in the initial post, and not at all in the replies.

All depends on how well they implement it, but I believe nothing is stoping them from doing it right
