So in the beta version of QOTO I've been working on I got a **lot** of new features working and coming soon.. a few examples:
* Captcha registration (less spam!)
* Groups! This includes a group directory tab to be able to browse groups as well as support for rendering and tagging groups properly. I will also be bringing up a second server to support creating groups and allows group moderation
* Markdown formatting for toots!
* Circles, essentially finer grained permission controls where you can create a circle of followers and limit a post so only a specific set of circles can see it.
So far all the above features have been tested and seem to be working, so should be able to do a release very shortly.
@narF Largely from just leveraging what other people have done and connecting a few dots. It actually wasnt too hard once you realize a group and an account are very similar in nature aside from a few small differences. Once i get our group server up ill do a whole write up explaining how it works.
@freemo Lots of ActivityPub projects are trying to do groups. Maybe they would like to know how you pulled that off!
@narF Everything I'm doing is open-source, so they are welcome to check it out.
@freemo Who moderates the group? The creator? Are there options? Maybe give moderator privilege to some members? Is that possible?
@freemo How did you manage to do groups?!
