Just realised this, most mastodon users who have had experience with groups think they are just bots that auto-boost any posts they are mentioned in.

This is kinda annoying me.

    Honestly, I tried to understand them but I failed. I don’t see how a group, from the twittoverse perspective is different from the use of a hashtag, be it agupe group or Lemmy community.

    But I would love to hear your explanation and pass it on to the next people who will not understand it.

      Hashtags are designed for anyone to post to, with no control over who can post to it.

      Communities can be moderated, often have rules and an actual community/culture behind them.

        Communities can be moderated Good point.

        Does moderation action fediverse well from Lemmy to the twittoverse?

          Hey, put two spaces at the end of a sentence for a line break.

          I’m pretty sure they do, removing a post would be deleting the announce (boost) activity.
