For this weeks #FollowFriday I am going to do a groups addition.

@Electronics - An Electronics Group
@theamazingweb - A group about interesting and novel things on the internet.
@vim - A group for everything VIM
@funny - A group for humour and memes
@mnmlsm - A group devoted to discussing unix and related topics
@calligraphy - A group devoted to sharing and discussing calligraphy & handwriting
@FreeSoftware - A group for discussing Free and Open-source software
@math - Everything math!
@dogs - A group for sharing pictures of dogs, for any reason.
@Science - A group to discuss Science topics.
@photography - A group for sharing or discussing photograph.

So its been about a month since the QOTO Moderated Groups Server came online at groups.qoto.org. It adds group capability to the fediverse with an owner capable of moderating membership in the group unlike previous group servers which were completely unmoderated and open.

We have had some amazing groups form and overall the server seems to be the most popular on the fediverse, I’m seeing more activity than the open-group servers which is great!

As such I wanted to share a list of a few groups I know of so far in case anyone is looking for a group to follow. Just follow the group as you would a user and you will be in the group and receive group posts in your timeline!
