I’m not really clear why groups wouldn’t be listed on the user page as it says there? I guess I don’t understand? It says “Groups” right on the user page at the top?

> I guess an alternative here is **Welcome to the amazing group** automatic PM or notification we could send to every member that becomes a member of the group (optional), which teaches them about the group and how to click the “circle” so they can watch the group categories if they want to. I am not against this, I think it could help.

I think that’s a better strategy.

I also like the idea of showing the **primary group** on the user card.
