· Föderation EN So 12.01.2025 01:03:06 @MissGayle @DEDGirl @Thumper1964 @Lizette603_23 @LilPecan Now, how would we do that? On FB, Buy Nothing is done as groups, one for each locale that has a Buy Nothing community. Mastodon doesn't have groups. Could we do it with hashtags? Something else? |

Föderation EN So 12.01.2025 01:40:40 @MissGayle @Professor_Stevens @DEDGirl @Thumper1964 @Lizette603_23 @LilPecan There are useful things called "groups" on here, but they work very differently to groups on Facebook. Groups on here are special accounts that basically just repeat any post sent to them, which makes it easier for lots of people to discuss a common topic across many servers. They're sort of like "super hashtags" because they send posts to other servers more easily. More info at https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-groups-on-the-fediverse |
