Each Group is created for different topics and it's where you make a Post. The good news is, there's no limits to the number of Groups you can join!
Different Types of Groups:
Some Groups are Mandatory and you'll be added to those automatically. You cannot leave a Mandatory Group.
Public Groups are open for you to join and leave whenever you like.
Some Groups are Private and you need to request access to them, but you can leave a Private Group whenever you like.
Communities can also have Secret Groups, but you won't know they exist unless you get added to them! Don't worry though, you can also leave these Groups whenever you like.
How do I Find a new Group:
Through the Search Function:
Tapping the magnifying glass icon at the top right of the App, will take you to the search function. Here you'll be shown all the possible Groups that you haven't yet join, but could.
On the Web platform, you'll see a search bar present at the top of the page, clicking on that will automatically show you the Groups you are not a part of and can join.
How do I Join a Group:
Depending on if the Group you want to join is Public or Private, the way you join will be slightly different.
Joining a Public Group:
Once you have found a Public Group that you want to join, you click into the Group and you'll be shown the option to Join.

Joining a private Group is similar to joining a public one. However, the difference is that you have to Request to Join rather than automatically join the Group. A member of our team will then decide if you can join the Group or not.

How do I Leave a Group:
As long as a the Group you are in isn't a Mandatory one, you can leave any of the Groups.
To leave a Group in the App, simply visit the Group's page and tap on the information icon at the top right of the screen, and select Leave Group.
Leaving a Group in the Web platform is similar. Simply head to the Group's page and tap on the drop-down menu to the right that says Member. Select Leave Group to...you guessed it...leave the Group.
