It seems some users have some sort of group functionality and have had it for "quite a while", but I don't see it myself so couldn't test it.
But yeah, groups in Pixelfed have been "just around the corner" for a while now.
Hmm, maybe they are running some developer release? I don't think this has made it into an official release yet, and if so that must have happend very recently (I tried selfhosting Pixelfed about 6 months ago and it wasn't available yet).
Very soon you will be able to: https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/106735357035194327
And I think it will also be possible to subscribe to Pixelfed groups from Lemmy.
That post is from 2021. Is there a more recent udpate?
There are very recent updates. Judging from this comment, some users seem to have some sort of grup support already.
I don't see it on my Pixelfed instance. I'm not sure if that's because it's still on v0.12.4 (not the newest v0.12.5), or because it needs to be enabled by the admin. I also have no idea how it currently works.
I just tried searching for @pics@lemmy.world on pixelfed.social and it was not found. However I can find myself when I search for @baronvonj@lemmy.world on pixelfed.social. So seems like you can't.
