Why Community Matters: Groups as the Next Step for the Fediverse
-
Federated groups in Bonfire will be spaces where communities gather to organise, care, and coordinate across the fediverse. They’ll live next to your personal feed, but each group having a specific purpose: a study circle, a lab team, an activist collective, a local mutual aid crew, a project team. Inside you’ll find posts, conversations, calendars, shared resources, and more. Crucially, groups will be portable and interoperable.

Bonfire seems like a very good project, I like the philosophy behind it (beyond platforms, like some criticism raised recently), but it’s a bit concerning that none of the instances seem to have any active users: https://bonfire.fediverse.observer/list
