Federated groups in Bonfire will be spaces where communities gather to organise, care, and coordinate across the fediverse. They’ll live next to your personal feed, but each group having a specific purpose: a study circle, a lab team, an activist collective, a local mutual aid crew, a project team. Inside you’ll find posts, conversations, calendars, shared resources, and more. Crucially, groups will be portable and interoperable.
There is no flagship instance. I’m curious about bonfire too but, I’d like to be a regular user and try out how compatible it is with mastodon and the rest of the fediverse. Last time I checked the only bonfire instance that allowed signups didn’t have federation on.
