This is a Friendica group for discussing development on the #fediverse.
Joining and contributing to a Friendica group is easy. To share your posts to the group, follow these steps:
You don't need to be a Friendica user to join this group. Because Friendica is part of the fediverse, this group is available to everyone -- including people who use Mastodon.

Thanks for the explanation, Shiri.
I pay attention to such thinks, but even with hindsight, I do not see such a group reference.
On #Mastodon, groups are also possible, but I forgot how to use them, as I used them so little.

Unless it was recently added, groups are not a thing on Mastodon itself. I do know in the Mastodon side of things a lot of people use Guppe: a.gup.pe/ for groups, which work in the same fashion as Friendica groups, just with no moderator/admin.
In the case of the groups, all 3 have it in their description that they're groups.
Because Mastodon has no support for groups there's no indicator anywhere other than the description that an account is a group account.

That's because Mastodon doesn't tell you that
Not yet. They're working on it. And everything else that has working groups/forums now is afraid that Mastodon will re-invent the wheel in a way that's the most incompatible possible to what already exists on more than half a dozen Fediverse projects.
What you mean is probably Guppe, but that isn't built into Mastodon and a far cry from what's possible on Friendica.
