Groups - how to make - how to promote - how do they work


!Friendica Support

I was looking over the list of available groups in Friendica.

I'd be interested in creating 1 or 2 myself.

Thanks

@Joseph Hogan the Wiki entry is for Circles, but what you mean is a Froum and the entry for that is this one wiki.friendi.ca/docs/forums.

There are two ways to create a forum.

you click on the plus sign as in the picture (but this only works if the admin of the instance allows multiple registrations.

or

you register a second account and user account - advanced account/page type you select community group
