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

     @roygreenhilt Hmm, that’s annoying.

     But private forums don’t seem to work with activitypub

     @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 :)

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

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

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

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

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