As someone who’s new to the city I live in, I wish there was a solid alternative to Facebook Groups. There are a lot of local groups which you need a Facebook account to access if you want to see their events. I’ve been considering starting my own online litterpicking group for my local area. I’d like to post pictures and updates and organise litterpicking events in my local area, but I’ve struggled to find a decent alternative to Facebook groups. “Podia” seemed about the closest thing, but it’s paid if you want a custom domain, and it’s not really aimed at local community groups. I haven’t seen anything on the Fediverse which looks approachable for casual users who are used to Facebook. It looks like “groups” as a whole is a work-in-progress on several Fediverse platforms. I’d be really interested to see if Bonfire can fill that gap in time.
