Does Mastodon have groups?

That depends on what you mean. If you mean like forums, then no. But if you mean like G+ Groups, i.e. lists of people you follow, then yes it does. They're called Lists, and you'll find them in the Getting Started tab at the far right of Mastodon's web interface. So, how do you use them? Well, here's the thing…

The New BlackBerry Movie Trailer Pitches a Funnier Take on 'The Social Network'

'Remember the BlackBerry? Remember how BlackBerry was getting its own movie? Well, now we’ve got our first trailer, which depicts the rise and fall of the infamous company that brought us the phone that ensnared CEOs, celebrities, and even presidents in its grip.'

@SekhmetMedusa

Nope. A serious falling which I hope Eugen @Gargron will fix. It's the same when using the web interface on a mobile phone. I asked him a while ago to make it easier for us but it wouldn't hurt if others also asked.

Someone has made, and uploaded, a feature comparison of over twenty Mastodon apps.
