Facebook group is a small community of Facebook. It brings together people with similar interests to share information about a field. A group can have a dozen people or millions of people. If you're new on Facebook and do not know how to join the group, don't worry, that's why How Facebook is here to help you.
Step 1, Having logged into Facebook, find the group that you want to join. Groups allow people of similar interests to talk about those interests in a central place. You can find groups in several different ways, though the process to join is the same regardless.
Search for the group - If you know the name or part of the name of the group, you can search for it in the Facebook search bar. Select the group from the search results to open the group page.
Look at your friends' groups. Your friends' profiles will display the groups that they are members of. You can click the links to visit the group pages for any of these groups.
Browse suggested groups. Facebook recommends a list of groups based on your other interests and what your friends are subscribed to. You can seen this list by clicking the "Find New Groups" link in the left menu of the main page.
Step 2, Look at the group type. There are 2 main groups that you can find without being invited: Open groups and Closed groups. Open groups do not require approval to join and they can be joined immediately. Closed groups require approval from one of the group admins, and you will need to wait until you're accepted before you can view the group.
There are also Secret groups. Secret groups do not show up in searches or on people's profiles. You must receive an invitation from the group in order to join it.
Step 3, Join the group. Open the group page that you want to join. You will see a Join Group button beneath the group's cover art. Click it to request admission to the group.
If the group is an Open group, clicking the Join Group button will enroll you in the group immediately.
If the group is an Open group, clicking the Join Group button will enroll you in the group immediately.
If the group is a Closed group, clicking the Join Group button will send an admission request to the admins. You will need to wait until you are accepted before you can interact with the group.
Other people may be able to see that you have joined a group on their News Feed.
Step 4, Post in the group. While you can see the group posts before you are accepted, you can't create posts or comment on other posts until your membership is accepted. Of course, you can post and comment just as you would on other Facebook pages.
Just like a regular Facebook wall post, you can add photos, videos, links and more to your group posts.
Make sure that your posts contribute to the group. If your posts are disrespectful or off topic, you will likely be removed from the group.
Keep up with group updates. When you join a group, new posts will appear on your News Feed and send notification to you. If you don't want it, you can turn off Facebook group notification or unfollow group.
