Which is why, if you actually want to discuss something, it’s better to tag a group. For example, if you want to be part of an actual PC gaming community on the Fediverse, it’s better to tag @pcgaming@lemmy.ca than #pcgaming.

This needs to be common knowledge because people new to the Fediverse do not know about groups. Hell, I’d say people who have had Mastodon accounts for years still don’t know. And that’s a shame.

No, what was said was that “Groups are for Lemmy and hashtags are for Mastodon”.

That is to say that Groups are not for Mastodon, so Mastodon users should be content with hashtags.

But Mastodon users use Lemmy groups from Mastodon, and better group integration is already being planned by Mastodon themselves.

Ergo, groups are for Mastodon.

...no what? You didn't contradict what I said. There was no "can't" in that statement.
