A boosted group can post stories of its own. An admin records one and chooses whether it goes out under their name or under the group's, and every member sees it at the top of their list.
The part that makes it different from any other story: replies do not arrive privately. They land in the group, in front of everybody.
What you will be able to do
- check_circle Post a story as the group rather than as yourself.
- check_circle Give the right admins permission to do it.
- check_circle Use the fact that replies become conversation.
- check_circle Avoid the version that empties the room.
The composer lets an admin choose whether to publish personally or as the community.
forum A story that starts a conversation
A personal story collects private replies you read alone. A group story collects replies into the group, quoted, where everybody can see them and answer each other. The story becomes the opening line of a discussion rather than a broadcast.
That single difference should decide what you post. Something with an obvious answer — a photograph of the venue, a question about a date, the first look at something — produces a thread. Something with nothing to say to produces silence in a public place, which is worse than silence in private.
The choice of identity matters as much. Posting as the group makes it an announcement from the community; posting as yourself makes it a person speaking who happens to be an admin. Both are legitimate and they are read completely differently.
Four decisions
The first is the one nobody thinks about before posting.
switch_account Two different voices
photo_camera Things worth answering
chat The replies are the feature
event_repeat Fewer than you are allowed
Post as the group only for the group. Post something worth answering, because the answers are public.

This page posts one story as a group. The curriculum step is the mechanism behind it: where boosts come from, what each level opens, and how stories work as a publishing format for a community rather than a person.
