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 @feditips Which instance have you found that’s a good #longcovid support group? Asking for a friend.

@Hyphlosion @podkaynelives

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.
