I'm new to groups.io, my apologies for asking some basic questions. I couldn't find a topic on this, or info in the wiki.

in the welcoming message that new members get, it says you can post new topics by sending an email to <groupname>@groups.io.? I couldn't find information about creating new topics via email anywhere in the help or wiki, I just stumbled on this.

However, in the group home page, it lists "Group Email Addresses", and it says "Post: main@<groupname>.groups.io"

Are these essentially synonymous? Any difference between the two? I find it a bit confusing to have two different forms for email addresses in these two places

They are synonymous. The one with "main" reflects that you have a subgroup. Your subscribers can post to either address if they wish to post to the main group.

When you create an email and send it to a group, it will (probably) start a new topic.? Also see /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Topics%20and%20the%20threading%20algorithm

The <groupname>@groups.io is the default when a group is created.? If a subgroup is later created, the main group takes the form of main@<groupname>.groups.io, but the original still works.? If you later delete all subgroups, it reverts to the original.

The welcoming message is automatically created when a new group is created, but you can edit it. In your group, go Admin > Settings > Member Notices > the welcome message.

When you later create a subgroup, the e-mail address format changes, but the default welcoming message doesn't update by itself.

Yes, surprisingly, if you have subgroups and even if you have changed the main group's local part, sending an e-mail to the main group's original address will deliver it to the main group (although the "reply-to" address in the received mail will point to new address).
