To join a "public restricted" group the process is :

* you follow the group ( eg @ testgroup @ friendica.u3a.social )
* I, owner of the group, gets an notification ... if I'm happy I'll approve the follow (to you join the group)
* You'll then see other posts to the group and can post to it

Friendia supports different account types :

* Personal - one of standard, soapbox or love-all
* Organisation
* News
* Community group - one of public, public restricted and private

So a group is just a special type of account.

You should be able to go to settings -> manage accounts and click on "Register an additional account". The new account can be changed from personal to community group via settings -> Account -> Advanced account types.

You can also click on the "+" icon in the groups which creates the account in a different way,

Test Group reshared this.

Missing email notification ?

!Friendica Admins

Hi Admins.

I've setup a test instance, friendica.u3a.social, so I can explore adminstration (and generally break things before the final install!). Itsa currently running rc.

I've created a "testgroup" of type "Public Group - Restricted" with a parent of the admin account ... when someone tries following the group, I get a notification on the webpage "bell" (which I can click-through to allow that person to follow), but no email notification.

As far as I can see I've enabled email notifications in the account settings and other emails are arriving okay from the server.

I guess the first question is, are email notifications expected to work in this case ?

Many thanks, Pete
