p.s. Just to make clear, the https://chirp.social system uses account addresses.

You create a group by registering on https://chirp.social. You join the group by following the group's account address. You post to the group by mentioning the group's account address.

More info about what account addresses are here: https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-basic-tips/#WhatsMyAccountsAddress

Every account on the Fediverse has a unique account address.

So for example to join the Art group on chirp.social you follow @art

The Old Reading Room

@feditips @art Thank you, super clear instructions. Just made @CreativeHealth 👍

@feditips @art this is a lovely hack, but just to be clear, this is a single instance, that if it goes away, that’s it for groups, right?

FediTips has moved!

p.p.s. Be careful out there, groups can be registered by anyone. Groups are moderated by the person who registers them.

I just got (accidentally?) tagged in a message where someone told someone else about "taking control of" the Politics group on chirp.social.

I've no idea what they meant, because they deleted the message seconds after it appeared.

Also, for any techy people out there, Chirp runs on FOSS so people can set up their own Chirp servers. Groups don't have to be on chirp.social.
