How do I start a group discussion?
- Go to a group you're a member of.
- Click "New Discussion" (on mobile, "Post").
- Add a "Title".
- Write your discussion in the "Body" field.
- Optionally, add tags in the "Tags" field (up to 5).
- Click "Start New Discussion".
Before you post, take a look at the group rules shown on the same page. Every group has its own posting etiquette.
Use the toolbar above the "Body" field to format your text. You can mention other members by typing @ followed by their nickname. To embed a YouTube video, see How do I embed a YouTube video in a group discussion?
Adding pictures
If the group allows pictures in discussions, you'll see an "Add a picture" button in the toolbar. Before posting a discussion with a picture, you need to check the box confirming that everyone in the picture consented to it being uploaded and was 18 or older when it was taken.
Adding a poll
Click "Add Poll" at the bottom of the editor. Read more in How do polls work?
I don't see a button I need
Group leaders decide who can start discussions, who can add polls, and whether members can add pictures. If you don't see "New Discussion", "Add Poll", or "Add a picture", the group doesn't allow it. Leaders can change this in the group's discussion settings.
You also can't post while you have a timeout from the group.
Why is my discussion pending?
Some groups review new discussions before they appear. Read more in What does it mean when my discussions are pending?
