Updating FEP-5219: Groups and permissions: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/908

I added two flags that indicate whether a group is private, semi-private or public: canFollow and canParticipate. These flags are similar to ones used in interactionPolicy pattern but I think interaction policies don't scale well.

There is now a thread on SocialHub if you prefer it for FEP discussions: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-5219-groups-and-permissions/8855

@silverpill Kind of. The effort from Feb/Mar sadly fizzled out, but the T&S Task Force recently called for a Community Group process with the same goal (adaption of the GTS spec with hopefully minimal changes) and I'm now hoping to contribute my interim artifacts there and maybe help finish the work.
