#Smithereen 0.7 is out, finally making it practical to run a server with open signups.
This release brings too many changes to list here, both internal and external.
- All-new moderation tools: role-based permissions, revamped reports, new ways of limiting user accounts, and so much more!
- All-new media storage: Smithereen now keeps track of references to files, simplifying the code, and adds support for S3 object storage.
- Tens of minor bug fixes and UX improvements.
And for those who don't know what it is, Smithereen is a "Federated, ActivityPub-compatible social network server with friends, walls, and groups."
It looks like groups are implemented similar to platforms like friendica where there's a "user" that people post at that will then distribute the posts they're sent to any followers.

@sj_zero no, groups are implemented properly. You post straight to the group. It's my own ActivityPub extension. The downside being that you can't participate in groups from other software (at least for now, Pixelfed promises to be compatible for example).
I'm not a great Activitypub developer in the first place, so that would just be me misinterpreting the documentation. Appreciate the clarification.
