WAIT... it worked!! 
odd that my first post of doing it, it wasn't scuessful
Edit: turns out that because I copied the shortcode and pasted it, it has the shortcut between the two [`] so it looked like that.
Groups is what is missing from Mastodon. Real Groups that is. Where posts inside a group stay inside a group. You join or leave the group if you are not interested in that topic. Same as Matrix Rooms or Telgram groups. Currently Mastodon is just a stream of announcements and no real social connection. Individual threads are OK. But you'll never find that thread again after a few days.
Groups mean people can post in detail on that topic without woryying it'll bore their followers. People have multiple different topics that need not overlap.
Groups make a social connection. You'll get to know people.
Great to see so much development @ivan !
I have a qustion for a specific use case (could also ask this somewhere else, but why not here):
Say, I set up a rather local-focused bonfire instance, for example, inviting all people from my small village to have an account. I would like to be able to:
1) Post my opinion about, say, synthesizers to be read by people from all known instances. (and of course let all villager post about whatever they find interesting)
2) Allow villagers to post stuff about our village that is only visible for people in the village. For example, I could invite people for helping organizing a cleanup day in the village hall. If I understand correctly, this would be done by setting the boundary to local on my village instance.
3) On my instance, I would like to offer all accounts a default custom feed that only shows local stuff (as posted under point 2). Most villagers don't care about my opinion about synthesizers, they just wanna see what's going on in the village. (so, that is different from the current default "local" feed)
I would really love it when this third option would be possible. The literal example given here would be a serious use case, but I can think of many more.

Hi there sandbox. Newly joined, but I've been watching what Bonfire's been up to since you turned up at a Fediforum, and looking forward to a chance to see how well you trample a Mastodon.
I'm part of the admin teams at wandering.shop and cosocial.ca, but also a grad student trying to figure out a pitch for a capstone project somewhere in civic tech + urban communites spaces, so getting more into Bonfire has been realllllly intriguing.
Doesn't seem to work which is odd as I added 
I think it just hadn't been fully implemented just yet. 🤷♂️

Here's another UI oddity I just tripped over: While exploring settings, I was in Advanced and found Federation Status. Is this intended for a normal "User" to see?
I'm attaching two screenshots. One shows presumably the results of my activity federating (3 issues Need Attention). When I clicked on "Refresh" though, i got the second screenshot, with THOUSANDS of issues that need attention. Possibly a very confusing thing for a normal user to see?
