       Silverpill, to put it bluntly, Discourse broadcasts content to the fediverse. It does not provide functionality for users to discover new content via follower relationships.The only way content outside of the local instance appears is:If it is in direct response to an existing topicIt is 1b12-announced by a synchronized category (requires admin setup)I think maybe Discourse can also follow users (this also requires admin setup)These decisions essentially make Discourse federation one-way, severely limits reach and precludes organic discovery of new content.

       So, Discourse needs to be able to follow remote groups?I still don't quite understand the problem. In my view, broadcasting content is the primary function of a Group, and I don't like when random fedi posts appear in the "Latest" timeline: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/latest
