Groups

#Create a group

Groups → Create group:

• Name and its link (/g/…) — the link can't be changed later.
• Public or Private. A private group is hidden; people join with an invite link only.
• For a public group, How people join: Open (anyone joins), Request (you approve each one) or Invite only.

#Join a group

Join group, Request to join (shows Requested until it's approved — Cancel request to withdraw), or open an invite link (Join group or Ask to join if the link needs approval).

#Channels

Every group has an announcements feed and text channels for chat. Voice channels are marked "Voice (soon)" — they aren't available yet.

#Running a group

Groups have an owner, admins and members. In Group settings:

• Invite links — set how many uses (1, 5, 25, 100 or no limit), when it expires (1 hour to never) and whether joining Requires approval.
• Members — Make admin (owner only), mute for a while, Remove from group or ban.
• Only admins post — keep the feed to admins.
• The owner can Transfer ownership or Archive group.

Anyone can Report group to Ink.

#Leave a group

Click Leave in the group's header (on a phone: the ⋯ menu → Leave group), then Leave group to confirm. You can join a public group again later; for a private group you'll need a new invite link.

If you own the group, you can't leave it as it is — someone has to own it. Leave explains this and Open Danger zone takes you to Group settings, where you can Transfer ownership to another member (then leave) or Archive group.

#On the Free plan

You can own 1 group with up to 100 members and 5 channels. With Pro there's no limit on groups or members, and up to 25 channels.
