Join a group

Find groups and become a member.

A group is a smaller space inside UpTrust where the same people meet to talk, plan, and decide things together. Joining one gives you a steady home for the people and topics you care about, instead of one endless feed.

Where to find it: New groups to try are on the Search page, under Find groups. The groups you are already in are on the Groups tab.

How to join

  1. Open Find groups from the Search page. The Groups tab also shows a few groups that people you trust are in.
  2. Use the search box or sort buttons to find a group you like.
  3. Click the group to open it.
  4. Click the Join button. You are in right away.

Some groups are public, so anyone can find and join them. Others are private. You can only join a private group if a member invites you. A small group is a private space for someone's own people; you join one when a member adds you.

What happens next

Once you are a member you can read and post in the group's channels, see its tools, and take part in decisions. You can leave any time from the group's settings.

Quick to reach

The Groups list in your left sidebar shows the groups you pinned first, then the ones you used most recently. To pin a group, click the pin icon next to the group name inside the group, or hover over its row in the sidebar and click the pin there. Click it again to unpin.
