Another ten groups added today.
We get so many requests with typos in the fediverse address for the person setting up the group. Please take care when typing it in.
If it's not valid, we will not create the group.
We can blog the users if you send me details. Don't @ them as they will become part of the DM. drop the first @
I've tried a few different server types and they all work as I would expect them to.
* Create a list
* Add the group Name to the List
* Ask the List to Hide from the Timeline.
They posts for the group then appear only in the list.
I even tried this on the mastodon flagship server (mastodon.social) and it worked.
V odd that you are not getting those results.
Some server take a little while for the list rules to take affect -- max 30 minutes
@mikka Last time we checked, we still had a pulse.
What group name did you ask for ?
Mastodon.social has no advantages over any other Mastodon server. It has no special status or privileges, it uses exactly the same software as other Mastodon servers.
In fact I'd strongly advise people *NOT* to sign up on mastodon.social, here are the reasons why: https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server
TL:DR - It's far far too big, it's putting the entire decentralised nature of the Fediverse in danger.
