   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)

     I wonder if it was blocked by your server? That's what happens to mentions if an account is blocked.

     I mean the group stopped existing. The mentions of the group in existing posts stopped being links and turned into plain text.

     What do you mean by disappeared?

     If you were following the group it should still be there?

     I tried this out with a Guppe group a while ago, but I went back a few days later and it had disappeared. I'm assuming they do that after a particular period of inactivity - about idea how long that is? I can't find any info on that.

     The group I had in mind would get bursts of activity every month or so and quiet in between, rather than sustained activity every day. Is there a better option for that sort of situation?

     Is that something that might happen automatically? I don't know why anyone would block it on purpose. It was barely used.
