Can groups function just like a slack channel can, but with discourse forum posts instead of slack chat posts?
I’ve read through this guide to groups, and also this discussion of groups v categories.
My best understanding is that groups are just a collection of people where, when one member of the group says something, the other members of the groups get notified? That would be different than what I am looking for.
It sounds like, from the posts I referenced, you could create a group and then give only that group permission to read and post to a certain category–but that just seems to be relying on categories anyway, and therefore the old problems of users not being able to create categories, you should only have a few categories, etc.
