@Strypey @Johannes Ernst I wouldn't bet on total standardisation of #groups on all #Fediverse projects. Sure, #Lemmy and #/kbin could approach each other further.

But even #Friendica (the original Facebook challenger) on the one hand and #Hubzilla and #Streams on the other hand handle group functionality differently, also because they've got different sets of user permission parameters. And these projects were all started by the same guy and are part of the same family. Since Hubzilla and (streams) both won't approach other projects if that means giving up key features of their own and re-thinking how they themselves work, even standardisation between these three would mean that Friendica would have to become more like Hubzilla.

The difference is even bigger between Lemmy//kbin on the one hand and Friendica/Hubzilla/(streams) on the other hand. A Lemmy community or a /kbin magazine is a specific piece of instance structure, like a sub-instance. On Friendica, a forum/group is a user account with specific settings. Likewise, on Hubzilla and (streams), a forum/group is a user channel with specific settings. If you want to fully standardise this, all you could possibly do is throw Lemmy and /kbin as they are now away and rebuild them as (streams) forks.

If #Mastodon should join the fray, chances are that they'll re-invent the wheel and try to bully the rest of the Fediverse into doing everything the way they do them by going on pretending that nothing else but Mastodon exists out there.
