Pixelfed is adding Groups, similar to communities, which will federate with Lemmy, Kbin, and Mastodon (lemmy.ca)

The beta for groups will release later this week, which won't be federated initially. Federation will be added afterwards.

Looks like it will have some interesting features like videos, polls, and events, as well as moderator tools like limiting what a user can do.

A menu in Pixelfed titled 'Limit Interactions' which shows that a moderator can prevent specific users from posting, commenting, or liking posts and comments.

Lemmy does not implement AF but AF is not a requirement on Firefish (admins can choose to enable or disable it, unlike say GoToSocial which forces it on)

That said, this is still a massive flaw in Lemmy and not having AF enabled on the non-Lemmy side makes defederation essentially useless (which is bad considering the kinds of places that have already set up shop on those parts of fedi), so I personally don't think the trade off of "federating with Lemmy" is worth it.
