it's infinitely sad that there's no groups in #Mastodon, otherwise you could try to get people to join mastodon instead. 😢
#Fedibook by @sindum is a lovely project imho (that I donate to, just like mastodon), but requires you to have a fedibook account to "see the group" properly. You can't use it with your mastodon identity.

Fedibook week 9
Yet another week of Fedibook discovery. The main focus this week has been getting federation between Fedibook servers working properly.Rasmus Sindum (The Fedibook Project)
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.

Meet Fedibook!
The idea came from thinking about what it actually takes to get regular users onto the fediverse. Mastodon is great (i love it), but the follow-based model feels unfamiliar to some. Friends and Groups though — that's something everyone already understands.
So Fedibook is a fediverse platform built around exactly that, using ActivityPub. Think federated address book meets social network, with the kind of social graph people are already used to.
Current status:
- Friend requests across servers working
- News feed working, with visibility levels: public, friends-only, or local server only
Hoping to open up for early testing and feedback soon. Open source of course.
