We have good equivalents for a lot of commercial platforms now, but Facebook and its groups are still exceptions. Friendica is close but still clunky on the UI. It’s also full of conservative Americans. I hope the fediverse comes up with something sooner than later.

Friendica is?
Well, the larger English-speaking instance had a lot. But it’s federated so you can join a different server, which is what I did in the end. So it might be more accurate to say that one of the largest servers has loads of them.
That's surprising but Lemmy probably skews my view of the leanings of the fediverse overall.
