How to join Facebook groups and subreddits

Facebook groups

Facebook groups live at facebook.com/groups/.... Browse our Facebook group directory and open a group to see its page on Facebook.

  1. Sign in to Facebook and open the group link.
  2. Click Join group.
  3. Answer any membership questions and agree to the group rules if asked.
  4. Wait for approval. Admins of private groups review requests manually, which can take days.

Public groups let anyone see posts and members; private groups show posts only to members. Your posts and comments in a public group can be seen by anyone, so share accordingly.

Subreddits on Reddit

Communities on Reddit are called subreddits and are addressed as r/name. Our subreddit directory groups them by topic.

  1. Open the subreddit, for example reddit.com/r/name.
  2. Read the About tab or sidebar rules.
  3. Click Join (sign-in required) to add it to your home feed.

Public subreddits can be read and joined by anyone; restricted ones can be read by all but only approved users post; private ones require an invitation from the moderators.

Privacy tips

  • Use a Reddit username that does not reveal your real name.
  • On Facebook, check who can see your profile before joining large public groups.
  • Be wary of members who move conversations to private messages to offer jobs, investments or deals.

Safety note: Groups listed here are run by third parties. JoinLinkHub does not own, moderate or verify them, and invite links can expire or change. Never share passwords, one-time codes or payment details with group members, and be wary of “investment”, giveaway or job offers. Read the full safety guide.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my Facebook group request still pending?

Admins of the group approve requests manually. JoinLinkHub cannot speed up or influence approval.

Do I need an account to read a subreddit?

Public subreddits can usually be read without an account, but you need one to join, post or comment.
