@norayr Nope, I didn't know guppe but now I do thanks to you. From what I see, groups work the same way in all forum-like or aggregator-like fedi things: it's always this 'follow to join' and 'mention to post' pattern. tootik communities should work the same way as in guppe, minus one thing: the communities are created manually (by the instance admin) and not auto-created every time you mention a non-existing community. Otherwise, a malicious actor can create a community (mention a non-existing one), join with many spam accounts and send many posts, forcing this tootik instance to send them to all spam accounts.

Unlike Mastodon, tootik has some special handling for special "Group" users, like Lemmy or kbin communities: when you view the profile of such a user, tootik displays threads and sorts threads by last activity, instead of displaying all posts (...
