Ok, I have changed this to a public forum. Does it federate?

@goatsarah @ragnarok GTiven that from my perspective, it's just a post from you - I'm not sure if it's a forum post or a post or a note or what :)

@roygreenhilt Hmm, that’s annoying.

But private forums don’t seem to work with activitypub

@goatsarah So i take the friendica thing is basically acting like a forwarder - Post to it, it boosts to the followers.

Close! Is a group actually private? IE, do boosts to the followers only show up to the people it boosts to? That would be helpful.

The 'group' tag helps to note this is a forwarder, but would love more information on who it is, what it is, how it is, and how do I get on or off it?

@roygreenhilt It was initially a private group, but it seems they only propagate to Friendica.

Groups are still kinda Facebook’s killer app, and the fediverse kinda sucks at them.

@roygreenhilt As for what it is, it’s me experimenting with groups.
