Fedigroup

Groups in the Fediverse

Fedigroup lets you create a group and then mention it in the fediverse, the group would then boost your message and also store its contents for search. There is also a web UI that lets you search within groups you are a member of (search is currently being implemented).

The server is currently in alpha stage and many critical features don't work yet. Contributions are welcome!

Features

• You can login using a Mastodon-API supported account and create a group
• You can follow that group and it will boost mentions of it to other people.
• The group stores the message in the database

What does not work yet

• Search
• Pagination
• group pages
• Attachment save/display
• Posting from within the webui
• Like/share from within the webui
• Delete activity
• Edit acttivity
• Edit existing group
• Delete / archive group
• Moderation (delete/block/defedate) Lots of elements not clickable (dates, avatars)

General info

• All groups are public

Motivation

I was trying to implement: https://github.com/yuforium/activitypub-docs or: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/feps/fep-1b12.md While being functional

I saw this and thought it was cool: https://github.com/wmurphyrd/guppe But I want to have also a way to search back in groups.

Code contribution would be appreciated!
