Public or private?

I would like to know when a post is private or not. So, is this correct?:

  • To mention an individual user, I type: @username@instance.tld
  • To mention a group (a subaccount used as a forum or a community) I type: !groupname@instance.tld

When I use '!', the message gets posted directly to that group. It ensures that all group members see the post. If the group is private, the message will be visible only to group members. If the group is public, the message will be visible to everyone (including non-members and possibly search engines).

Is the use of @ or ! the same as choosing 'Limited/Private' on the Permissions-tab?

Thanks,
Kind regards,
Erik

do you have the posts locally that you want to see #trends from?
(aka. "there are no global #public posts" discussion)

There are no #public posts. 🥺
Posts are sent only to the people following you (plus your local server community which may be a few people or a lot, it depends on where you are), nobody else.
People wanting to follow you cannot see your old posts either.
The system is basically "subscribers only", that's "federation".
