Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

Just an idea, what if mastodon had community groups? (lemmy.ml)

I think I can agree on this one. been looking for writers on fediverse. real ones that makes novels and such. it seems that if mastodon has community groups that users from other instances can join. that can fix isolated communities and users especially if they are on single user instances.

for an example if you had a community for artists. specific genres ones maybe like horror manga. users from other instances can join and you can post a toot under that community.

single user instances or people that are interested in things but on another instance may want to join that specific community.

Apparently this has been discussed many times but is unlikely to happen. Other Fediverse projects do have groups though (Hubzilla, Friendica) or are working on them (Pleroma).

Can those groups reached via activity pub? So from actors not belonging to the corresponding instance?

in theory at least ;)

Forum channels are particularly noteworthy because they are analogous to Facebook Groups.
