Fedibook groups just got a major rewrite.
Groups now work as a ActivityPub group actors — meaning members from Mastodon, Pixelfed, and other Fediverse platforms can join and participate, not just Fedibook users.
Invite a @mastodon.social friend to your group, they accept the follow request, and group posts start appearing in their home timeline. They can post back via DM. It just works.
On Fedibook, groups looks just like that face-thing.

@sindum@mstdn.dk @julian I hope you two can join the W3C social web working group’s groups task force meeting today? https://github.com/swicg/groups/issues/37
@mayel wasn’t aware of it but I think I can make it.
@mayel Thanks again for the invite, I knew the task force existed but there are so many nowadays :sweat_smile:
@sindum@mstdn.dk fedibook groups don’t seem to be federating content to the fediverse correctly.
I’m seeing posts that are attributed to no user. It may be an issue with how the activity is federated.
The group actor should be announcing a regular object from another user, according to 1b12.
@julian This is what you mean right. This message should come from me and not the group?
@sindum@mstdn.dk I think so. The group is merely announcing the creation of the post, the post’s attributedTo should still point to the actual author.
Thanks for looking into it!
@julian Thank julian - I will try to understand what that meen and catch up.
