thank you for all amazing work you do.
i am not qualified to feedback, but i have this question.
you also deigned guppe groups, right? that's more like a mailing list on activity pub. there, it is also necessary to mention a group so that group members receive the message.
does it differ from communities and how?

@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.
understandable and perfectly reasonable.
tootik is great, absolutely great, keep up the good work
yes, i think i will install it at some point. and switch to it.
tootik communities — I've been working on support for 'communities' in tootik. [https link] tootik is currently more like Mastodon, it's based on the idea of users that follow specific users and see a feed of activities by these followed users. 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 (...
