How to start a group on the site
Open your own corner for a shared interest: starting a group takes two minutes, and its chat room and announcement system come ready made. A step-by-step guide to starting a group.
On Yudum.NET, groups are the corners where people keen on the same subject gather: a film group, archaeology enthusiasts, the supporters of a team... When you start a group you get not only a page but also a chat room tied to the group and the possibility of sending announcements to its members.
Starting a group is open to members and takes two minutes. In the group you founded you approve the applications, write the announcements and, if you want, appoint administrators.

Steps
- Go to the Groups pageOpen the Groups section from the top menu or from the feed: yudum.net/gruplar. You can browse the existing groups here โ the one you are looking for may already be there.
- Press the 'Create a group' buttonOpen the group creation form on the page. You will see name, description and privacy options.
- Take care with the name and the descriptionKeep the name short and clear ('Film Group'); let the description say what is talked about. A good description attracts the right members.
- Choose the privacy settingA group that is open to everyone takes members straight away; in an approval-based group you approve the applications yourself. If you can't decide, start open and tighten it later if you need to.
- Create it and go into its roomOnce the group is created, the group's chat room is ready as well. Go into the webchat and visit your group's room โ write the first message yourself.
- Invite your first membersSend the invitation link on the group page to your friends or share it in the feed. The first ten members are the hardest; the rest come by themselves.
- Use the announcement systemAs the founder you can publish announcements and events from the group page; the announcements land both on the group page and in the room.
