Groups

A group is a shared space you join by its tags — and its name is built from the address of whoever made it plus those tags.

This one catches people out, so it is worth seeing before you go looking. A group is not called Book Club. It is called something like kai.1#besties#michigan#bookclub — the creator's address, then each of its tags, joined by #. That is why you search for groups by tag rather than by name. Groups sit in the Group Connections section of your page, next to your friends.

How to

What it can do

  • Search for groups by their tags
  • See how many members a group has, its tags and its description before joining
  • Join a public group instantly
  • Ask to join a semi-private group, and see that your request is waiting
  • Leave a group you have joined

Worth knowing

⚠️ Request sent is not membership. On a semi-private group nothing else happens until the group lets you in — there is no Leave button to press, because there is nothing yet to leave.

Who can see it

Groups carry their own setting, shown as a badge on each one in the list: Public anyone can join on the spot, Semi-Private you must be let in. Your own Group Connections section is always private — only you see the list of groups you are in. See Who can see what and The sections of your page.
