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)

@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’?

@cathodion

If you do a report on Mastodon, you can send it to both your own server and the server of the post author. The report that goes to the author's server is anonymous.

It's an option that is presented during reporting a post.
