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 is like search without the noise. (Unless of course someone is abusing it.)
Groups are similar to hashtags but without the restriction on what content is allowed as long as it is within the agreed scope. Groups usually have moderation features as well. And it can also be set to private (if supported).
Even if a group is public, if the feature was well-made, replies to a post posted in a group are usually seen by griup members only. Or, if the thread itself is opened.
Compare that to hashtags, replies will always appear for everyone.
I did not understood that thank you for the clarification.
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.
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 theannounce(boost) activity.Edited. Thank you for that and the explanation.
