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

Yes it does. But post security is “unlisted” not “direct” if that matters?

It shows on Mastodon as an unlisted toot from you, boosted by the group account.

@Zoë O'Connell Nature of fediverse forums I think. Friendica can do private ones, but the posts won’t propagate over ActivityPub

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 😀

@Roy Greenhilt Hmm, that’s annoying.

But private forums don’t seem to work with activitypub

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?

@Roy Greenhilt 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.
