Get involved. Follow a group!
A group is a place for you to connect with people here on EX with a shared interest. Joining a group is called “Following” here on EX.
Follow a group to participate in discussions, and remain aware of the group activities. Some groups are completely virtual while others also plan periodic in-person events.
