Yatube consists of four main models: Group, Post, Comment, and Follow.

The Group model represents a community where users can share their posts. Each group has a unique slug and a description.

The Post model represents a user's diary entry. Posts contain text, a publication date, an author, an optional group, and an optional image. Posts are ordered by publication date in descending order.

The Comment model allows users to leave comments on posts. Each comment is linked to a post and an author, and has a publication date.

The Follow model represents the relationship between users and the authors they follow. A unique constraint ensures that each user can follow an author only once.

• Encourage and reward top authors
