Group actors are essential to the Fediverse.
They’re the best way to create a community and have a topical discussion.
For example, I might want to talk about PC gaming. Without group actors, I have to hope someone who follows me also likes PC gaming which, considering the demographics of people who tend to follow me, is not so likely.
I also like to write about aesthetic things. Which is also an interesting that isn’t generally mainstream enough for the Fediverse.
And music? People on #Mastodon don’t want to talk about that either.
So how to solve this problem?
By tagging a group actor on #Lemmy, #Piefed, or #NodeBB. Preferably, one that has to do with the topic you want to discuss. And believe me, this is more effective than hashtags.
