We are testing groups internally now for quality control. Patching up some stuff, but getting close.
@a What happens to the gabs (toots) in New Gab groups re. the public and federated timelines?
Will users see gabs from groups in the All stream? Will users on instances outside of Gab, but not running the Gab fork, see gabs (toots) in their federated timelines?

@JohnGritt Hi! I'm from the fediverse. I see all your posts in my federated stream. Not all instances are like that though. There are many (freespeech-hating) instances that have already blacklisted kiwifarms and gab, so users on those instances will not be able to see your post.
@wmarshall @JohnGritt they need a gab acct
@wmarshall @wmarshall Yes, I noticed your domain yesterday when we interacted.
The old Gab service had something called groups. As I recall, we could see shares into groups of those whom we followed as well as seeing everything being shared in a group if we had joined that group.
So I asked Gab's owner / founder what will be the effect on our home (local) and All (public) timelines of a restore of Gab groups.
