A Facebook group is a virtual space within the Facebook platform where people with similar interests, hobbies, or goals can come together to connect, share content, discuss topics, and interact with each other. Group members can post text, photos, videos, and links, as well as comment on and react to posts from other members.Groups can be focused on a wide range of topics, such as hobbies, professional interests, support communities, local events, fan clubs, and more. They offer a way for people to engage in more focused discussions compared to their broader Facebook News Feed, making them a popular feature for building communities and fostering interactions among like-minded individuals.
Groups can be public, closed, or secret:
- Public Groups: These are open for anyone to join, and their content is visible to the public.
- Closed Groups: These groups require approval to join, and their content is visible only to group members.
- Secret Groups: These are invite-only groups where membership and content are hidden from non-members.
