This is a Friendica group dedicated to #Fediverse news. What are the advantages of a group over a hashtag?
Groups can do things that hashtags can't. For example, groups:
* are moderated
* can re-share content
* can speak as a group
Joining and contributing to a Friendica group is easy. To share your posts to @Fediverse News, follow these steps:
1. Follow @Fediverse News
2. When sharing Fediverse news, tag @Fediverse News
3. The @Fediverse News group will then re-share your post
This is an actively moderated group. Be sure to stay on topic, or your posts will be removed.
Remember, you don't even need to be a Friendica user to join @Fediverse News. Because Friendica is part of the Fediverse, this group is available to everyone -- including people who use Mastodon!

What is more to blame is people thinking that the “Fediverse" is somehow a homogenous group of interconnected diverse services rather than a shared protocol used by many services, that allows, somewhat, service interconnectedness.

in reply to Chris Trottier • •I advise you to add a description to the group, because old friendica forum posts are not displayed by followers who have just started following them
This is what I did for the school group of my instance:

And groups could be a big factor in this.

in reply to Chris Trottier • •@Chris Trottier Hi Chris, I too am trying to promote the Friendica groups/forums in the Italian faith universe (I call them groups/forums to better understand their function), because we need tools that can aggregate topics

PS: I'm also promoting the Lemmy communities, which are somewhat similar to the Friendica forums

Unknown parent • • •Sure, everything people post publicly is indexable and scrapable. And how Mastodon’s search works isn’t how the rest of the Fediverse works. We know that.
But if you want to build search anyway, you need to prove to the community that you’re not an asshole.
Henrick
in reply to Chris Trottier • • •Calling it "protecting marginalized communities" is doing disservice to those marginalized communities. Saying it's about "Community Buy-In" is doing disservice to the fact there is no singular community.
Speaking as a member of a marginalized community no amount of alternative social discovery will replace the search function.

in reply to Fediverse News • • •The way you join this group is by following and then tagging your posts with @Fediverse News -- much like you mention anyone else on the Fediverse. However, this is a group, not an account for a single person.
This function isn't available natively on Mastodon, but it's available on Friendica. However, because Mastodon federates with Friendica, you have access to it through Mastodon.
