Groups link to group?

Can the groups listings page, possibly have a link to the group versus just join/leave/group members list options?

Like here being clickable to take you to the group’s forum:

Or did I do something wrong?

My members are already saying: “How do I get there? and I don’t see any posts.” The posts show up on latest and you can find it in the categories, but they are expecting to be able to access the group from the groups join page. It feels like OK so now what after they join.

And while I’m already setting myself up for the big hammer, I might as well ask why the activity tab shows ALL activity. Why doesn’t it show that group’s activity only?

你好,Sara!看起来你可能混淆了“群组”(关乎用户)和“分类”(关乎话题)。我自己向他人解释这一点时也感到有些困难,确实容易让人困惑。

Discourse 群组用于授予对私有分类的访问权限,以及分配徽章和头衔。群组目录只是一个方便查看和管理站点上群组的工具,并允许用户加入或退出那些设置为可自由加入/退出的群组。

“动态”标签页确实只显示该群组内用户的活动,但展示的是这些人在整个站点上的所有活动。这确实很方便,但也确实容易让人困惑,我知道。:slight_smile:

我想,群组所有者可以在群组描述中添加一个指向与该群组相关分类的有用链接。例如,对于插件作者,可以链接到 #customization:plugin。但这并不适用于站点上的每一个群组。

Great overview @tobiaseigen

@Sara_Noel I agree getting users back to the Category and topics is tough. You can add text in the Group description with a link to Categories associated with Groups.

Another feature request would be to let Categories have a “Private” setting in addition to the current “Restricted/Hidden” so all users could see the Category and description but no topics. The Category description could include a Join link or other text related to joining the required Group and gaining access to the Category.

@scombs Thank you! I completely forgot that I could just link in the description! That’s good enough.

@tobiaseigen If I had gone into it thinking private forum versus groups, I would not have had failed expectations. I will just re-name this something fun and catchy instead of groups and call it a day. :slight_smile:

Thank you both for your time! I appreciate it!

I can imagine a valid feature request for something like a “Group Scope” tab in a groups page. This page would summarise which categories the group has special access to, which Title it has been granted and so forth.

Kind of a la sub-reddits? But the option to have it somewhere other than hamburger menu. I like that because for how I want to use this, the directory is nice for join, leave and a list of groups, and participants, but is otherwise too much and not enough for how I want to use it. LOL I want groups not usergroups even though usergroups is how I am grouping the group. LOL Oh cripes. I’m leaving before I dig myself deeper.
