Join a community that is devoted to a subject that you
are interested in and start participating.
Before you begin
To find a community that you want to join, browse all the public communities in
the organization in the My Organization Communities view.
Or you can search for a community that is devoted to a particular subject. You can also use
suggestions from the Recommendations app to find communities that might interest you. You must be
logged in to join a community or to request to join a community.
Note: You can join public communities by clicking a link, but you must request to
join moderated communities. Restricted communities are private and they do not display in the
My Organization Communities view. You can join this type
of community when a community owner adds you as a member or invites you to join.
Tip: Community owners might modify their restricted communities so
that the community's name, description, tags, and owners appear in the My
Organization Communities view. These communities (known as "restricted but
listed communities") can also appear in search results. You can apply to community owners to join
these communities.
Tip: If you are a member of a restricted community and you want to
include a colleague in that community, ask a community owner to invite your colleague to join. To
identify community owners, click Members in the navigation and then select
Owners in the Filter by field.
Procedure

Results
When you join a public community, the community is immediately added to the
list of your communities in the I’m a Member view. When you request to join a
moderated or restricted but listed community, the community does not display in the I’m a
Member view until your membership is approved by the community owner.
