Can someone tell me what the advantage of using the ! over @ in groups is? I appear to have a very confused understanding after 6 years on this platform. Thanks.

@anubis2814 ! only sends your post to the forum's followers, @ also sends your post to your direct followers.

@anubis2814 "Follow a forum account" is the same as "join a forum". So ActivityPub accounts can both receive forum posts and post to a Friendica forum. The only thing they can't do is post exclusively to a forum with the !-mention.
