The thing that got me and many other people using facebook was a friend invited me and I was then able to invite other friends. Is that feature already available? If not will it be available?
At the moment it only seems to be available to group administrators.
If the group is an open group you can just point them to the group and they can join themselves.
If the group is a closed group, again you can point them to the group but in this case they can request to join. And the moderator/admin approves the request.
But in the case of a Secret group, the administrator or moderator is the only one that can send out an invite. Once the invite is accepted by the person who wants to join they are part of the group.
Even Facebook has this ability, to have secret groups that required an admin to send an invite. Their closed groups are similar to Faithlife as well as you have to request to join and only a moderator/admin can add them to the group.
How do you find open groups? I feel like I am in a sealed cave listening to my own echoes ...
How do you find open groups?
1) simply use the group search in faithlife. That's the intented feature. Problem: you'll be drowned in a non-filterable list of empty groups, pre-loaded from Logos to resemble each and any known church in Northamerica. By being creative in your search string and persistent in scrolling, you may find some (such as "christian debate")
2) Join one or two of the more active groups, such as Fathlife Beta or Logos Pageturners. When someone posts, lookup their profile to see the groups they are member of and consider looking them up (works with clicking instad of search)
You'll probably find there are many many open groups, but not much activity within them, since IMO the "critical mass" of active paricipants hasn't reached. So, whatever you do: try to become active in the groups you join
