What happens to my old stories IF I leave a certain Group….🧐

Will it float motherless in the vast expanses of SW Cyberspace? 🥺😣

I think being in a group only impacts the feed. I think one of the sliders in the custom settings is for your groups (see more or see less).

I think when you post and pick a group, you might join (follow) it automatically. Or at least in the past?

Hmm…you’re spot on! 😊

However, I’m wondering how the groupless posts will be sorted, if that’s true. @JoyfulSilence

@Vivaci

I think they are consolidating groups. So I presume all old groups have a successor.

This reminds me of our database at work that has all companies in the US (except railroads). It is a database of all companies that paying into the unemployment insurance system. When a company or location splits or merges there is a predecessor and a successor variable. It is usually filled in. 🙄

The database excludes railroads since they have their own unemployment insurance system that predates the rest.

We use this database as our sampling frame for our surveys.

@Vivaci This is the point Viv... There is no such thing as a groupless post. You leave the group, but what you posted there stays behind.

You can change the group assigned to a post, but you cannot leave it groupless. 🙂

@sarabee1995 Really? Can we change groups?
