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)

@podkaynelives@universeodon.com@feditips Thanks as always for these tips, just signed up for some groups.
Hey #disabled, #MECFS, and #LongCovid folks: there are groups for us! Go to https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-groups-on-the-fediverse/ and https://fedi.directory/tag/fediverse-groups/ for more info!
@podkaynelives @feditips Which instance have you found that’s a good #longcovid support group? Asking for a friend.
@Hyphlosion @feditips The nice thing is that you can use the hashtags to communicate across instances/servers (the ones your instance donphan.social is "federated" with aka connected with).
And groups seems to be the same. But if your friend is looking for an instance to join that would be welcoming and supportive in general, I have some recommendations! Let me know.
You don't have to be on a particular instance/server to join a group. The groups work across all the servers :)
Just follow the group's account to start receiving messages from the group, and mention the group's address in a post to take part in the discussion.
If you put this address into your search box on Mastodon it will make the group's profile appear. Just click follow to follow it.
