⭐ A gentle reminder from mods ⭐

If you want to post to the group, you must tag your post with #FountainPen or #FountainPens, that way the bot will know to boost it. Otherwise, the bot will not know it's about FPs and will just assume you're talking to your followers about something else.

Also, it is not necessary to tag replies. However, if you want to create a new top-level thread, adding the tag will do that. (It will still be linked to the old one.)
