Groups

Create groups, choose public or private, join, and post.

Create a group

  1. Open Groups and click + Create group.
  2. Enter a name. Topic, description, and photo are optional.
  3. Visibility: Public means anyone can see the group's posts in the feed and on the group page. Private means only members see posts.
  4. Joining: Open lets people join instantly. Approval required means you accept or decline each request.
  5. Click Create group. You become the owner and can manage it from the group page.

A group can be Public with approval, or Private and open. Visibility controls who sees posts; joining controls who can become a member.
