### Sharing into the group ### Sharing into the group
The group will boost (reblog) any status meeting these criteria: The group will boost any status meeting these criteria:
- - The visiblity is public or unlisted
- It's not a command request (i.e. mentions the group user and contains valid command(s))
- Either:
- it mentions the group user and is not a reply
- or, it contains one of the group hashtags
Examples of posts that will be shared:
- `@group Look at this duck` (public or unlisted)
- `Look at this duck @group` (public or unlisted)
- `I love #ducks` (public or unlisted, if #ducks is a group hashtag)
- `@otheruser tell me about #ducks` (in a thread, public or unlisted, if #ducks is a group hashtag)
- `Ducks are cool @otheruser @group` (original post)
These won't be shared:
- `ducks suck`
- `@group /remove #ducks` (admin command, even if it includes a group hashtag)
- `@otheruser tell me about ducks` (in a thread)
- `@otheruser @group tell me about ducks` (in a thread)
