I read others who used it saying that it isn’t great for allowing users to search groups and select them, so i was planning on using the search bar in the Groups page.

The issue i’ve heard others talk about is that doing this only creates a list of which groups they want to join, and an admin has to manually add them to those groups so there’d be a delay and a lot of extra work for admins.

Unless i can set the custom redirection to the groups page itself, rather than a form.
