You can't create a new automatic group, but it looks like you can

You can press the NEW button under the Custom and under the Automatic tab (in group settings). They each have their own url, but it’s actually the same form.

If you add a new group from the automatic tab, the new group will even show in the automatic list, only to be moved to the custom list after a refresh.

This is confusing. For a while I thought I could make automatic groups (which still is a cool idea I think). An automatic group would be like a badge, only then people will join that group as well.

It’s now properly hidden :pizza:
