I don’t believe it’s a reference to a particular post. Some people have fun as a group, whether partying or playing games together or just spending time showing each other cat pictures. Some ways to have fun as a group result in more fun than others, and people might try to test which ways have more fun.
It seems like a thing that literally[1] everyone does sometimes. “Let’s all go out for dinner.” “OK, where shall we go?” As soon as you ask that question you’re “optimizing for group fun” in some sense. Presumably the question is intending to ask about some more-than-averagely explicit, or more-than-averagely sophisticated, or more-than-averagely effortful, “optimizing for group fun”, but to me at least it wasn’t very clear what sort of thing it was intending to point at.
