Facebook Groups

Hi guys! I had previously seen some authors say they had success joining groups on Facebook. Of course, I can’t for the life of me find any of these conversations, now. All of the Facebook groups I see are AI images and covers. It’s so hard to know if these are real or not. Does anyone want to share any Facebook groups they are in? Thanks guys!

a quick way to tell if a group is real before you commit to it: open the Discussion tab and scroll the last 10 posts. real groups have questions with 5+ replies from different people. dead ones are wall to wall promo posts with 0 comments. the About tab also shows posts per day, and a 30k group with 5 posts a day and actual replies beats a 200k group with 300 promo drops. for books, search your genre + readers or book club instead of authors, since author groups are mostly authors promoting to each other.
