There are lots of interesting group accounts you can follow on here, they work like this:

1. Follow a group's account to see discussion of its topic
2. @ the account if you want to post to the group
3. The account boosts anything @-ed to it, be careful when you @ them so that you don't spam the group (spammers tend to be reported and blocked)

I've listed some active and friendly groups at:

@feditips
I'm confused. Are instances within groups or vice versa? I'm enjoying mastodon and joined the first instance I came across, but there are lots of nuances I still don't get.

@feditips that reminds me: how does reporting work when you report a post from a different server? does the report go to my server’s admins or the post authors’?
