I'm just learning about groups, so I started following a few (which apparently are how you join them). Now to post to the groups I'll just have to remember to tagg them in relevant posts.
#mastodonGroups #tryingToLearn #mastodonFeatures

fun fact cela fait au moins 5 ans que des tas de gens réclament une fonctionnalité de pages gérées par des groupes de gens sur #mastodon, et un an après des maquettes publiées par l'équipe de com, ce n'est toujours pas en production.
soon.

randomly stumpled upon a group in here - and I was like - a what? can you have groups in here? can't find any documentation on it though - how does that work? #AskFedi #groups #mastodon #MastodonGroups

As an organisation (university of applied sciences) we very much look forward to Mastodon Groups as this feature will hopefully allow us to separate internal conversations from conversations with external stakeholders and with public audiences.

The alternative in the meantime is perhaps to set up a non-federated instance for our internal conversation.

I like the idea of the @bookstodon group, but it just messes up my time line. I would love to be able to see it separately. #MastodonGroups #Groups

@Gargron In all humility, just wondering how it's looking for Mastodon Groups now, a fortnight before the new year.

I believe that when we implement groups, it will remove the need for local-only posting. In our planned implementation, group posts will be separate from other posts, and only go out to the group (...).

@a2
i think if you are planning to address a specific group of people you have to use a group server
Group servers does exactly what you need

Where are my Oakland peeps who are trying to build community? I've created a group for us: @oaklandcommunity

Want to join? Just search for the group and then follow. You're in!

This handy-dandy group feature is made possible by Immers Space, a registered worker-owned cooperative. Supah cool!!

The Guppe page only lists the top 50 most active groups, and I can’t find an easy way to search through all the existing groups.

Does anyone know of other groups they’d like to see gain more traction (or anywhere I can search through all existing groups)?

I’m really interested in:
@womenintech
@uxresearch
#womenintech #uxresearch #mastodongroups #mastodontips #tech #mastodon

@transport Testing use of this group. Would other transport planning related Mastodians be interested in using it as a focus for posts? (Assuming current group users don't object?). If you'd like to try, follow that account, and use it to 'tag' any posts you want to send to the group. It then gets automatically boosted to all followers.
(I also keep accounts like this in my 'Essentials' List so I can avoid missing them).

@woozle My view is that the groups functionality is going to be external to the main Mastodon / ActivityPub layer. Most likely it will be some framework that uses Mastodon* but isn't Mastodon itself. Mastodon-as-transport-layer (with added goodies such as identity management, moderation, notifications, and another set of interfaces into the discussion).

Mastodon as comments-system on blogs seems one approach. I'm not sure that's what a fully-evolved system will look like, but it's at least in the direction of a solution-shaped object, as they say.
