Frequently Asked Questions

How many groups can I create?

You can create multiple groups, but we recommend focusing on building one or two high-quality, engaged communities rather than spreading yourself too thin.

Can I change a group from Private to Public later?

Yes, you can change the privacy settings of your group at any time from the group management dashboard. However, consider the privacy expectations of your existing members before making a private group public.

What happens if I want to delete my group?

As the owner, you have the option to permanently delete your group. This action is irreversible and will remove all content and member data associated with the group. Alternatively, you can transfer ownership to another member.

Are there any costs associated with creating a group?

Creating and managing a standard group is completely free. Some advanced features or monetization options may have associated fees or revenue-sharing models, which will be clearly outlined.
