I started working on private groups in Mitra. Beginning with version 5.10.0, you can follow private communities on Lemmy 1.0 beta (test instance: https://voyager.lemmy.ml/), post to them and leave comments on posts.

Local private groups are not supported yet, but I hope to finish this part soon.

I will also try to make Mitra at least partially compatible with Shoot - an instant messenger built on ActivityPub that has private groupchats based on FEP-1b12.

@silverpill unrelated - does Mitra implements QuoteRequest/Accept/QuoteAuthorization part of FEP-044f? I'm having hard time with Mitra's quote posts when it comes to getting approval, trying to track it down atm

@lnkr It doesn't implement approvals. Only quote-links are supported

@silverpill Got it.
Is that a hard NO, or is there any chance Mitra can still emit FEP-044f-compatible Accepts in a static way, without any actual approval mechanisms, so servers that do follow FEP-044f don't get fucked while trying to quote Mitra or process the posts that are quoting Mitra? I'll land the PR if this is a possibility.
