@jessel @lemmy @Gargron Groups have multiple meanings tho...
"groups" as in.. a.gup.pe - people post into the group account, and it boosts for everybody following the group account to see on the main timeline like any other account.
groups as in - private group chats - a bunch of people posting to each other (not searchable/not public)
groups as in subreddits.. you subscribe to the group, and you can toot into that group... these toots are inside the group but fully interactive inside the group.
