Share albums with user groups? Each user could organize registered members in groups and share albums with groups and users?

Hey @hooram I don't know your motivation nor goals, but if you allow multiple users uploading their photos then this becomes a photo sharing social network... scalability problem is just behind the corner.

If this is the direction you want to follow, why not contribute your great code to an existing open source social network like Diaspora?

You need to draw the line somewhere.

I could potentially contribute to this project but duplicating Diaspora doesn't make sense to me.

I use ActivityPub protocol network (Mastodon) which is great and allows federation with instances. Maybe implement ActivityPub for federation?

@pwFoo That sounds like a cool feature suggestion, I am just not sure how I see that happening without anyone who knows how to implement the decentralised aspect of things. As much as I'd like to see it.
