Lohan Gunaweera (lohang@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 31-Jul-2017 06:10:36 UTC Lohan Gunaweera @tuttle there isn't at the moment. But there is a (low priority) feature request. I think someone's working on it.
Personally, I got fed up with group maintenance. They are not portable. Whenever an instance goes down it inevitably loses almost all the users, unless it is an extremely popular group like #fediverse :-( With Mastodon I can at least export/ import my list of contacts in one click. That is the best data portability I've seen so far. GNU Social cannot export anything.

Lohan Gunaweera (lohang@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 31-Jul-2017 06:12:03 UTC Lohan Gunaweera @tuttle I am unable to subscribe to some of the accounts at the moment getting 500 and 503 errors. But it worked with some of the others I could not follow from GS. I hope it will resolve eventually....

By the look of it, this is unlikely to make speedy progress.

Lohan Gunaweera (lohang@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 01-Aug-2017 02:08:25 UTC Lohan Gunaweera @tuttle No you can't subscribe to tags here. At the moment it looks like a free replacement for twitter with data portability. GNU Social offers much more. But at the same time GS restricts users who don't run their own node. I am happy to use this until I get my own site running again.
