There are two main ways of posting to groups/forums on Friendica - assuming you are already a member of the respective forums.
1) You can click on the forum's avatar in your stream or from your Contacts page to visit the forum and post wall-to-wall in the editor boxes there. Only other forum members will then see your posts in their streams.

2) You can mention the forum in a public post from your stream by typing @myforum. Everyone you know will then see it, but it will also go to the forum and be seen by other forum members who aren't necessarily among your personal contacts. (Note that @-mentions in comments don’t redirect threads to forums. Only thread initiators can trigger cross posting.)

So it depends on how many people outside the forum you think should see the post. For instance, if you wanted your post to a _Politics_ forum to be read by everyone you know, you would issue a public post and mention @politics. You might occasionally also do this if you felt the Politics forum needed to become better known in your community. This can be good practice - as long as it's not overdone.
