How to find and join a group

Step by step instructions on how to find and join a group

Written by Martin Smith

Groups on Tabella come in two types: public groups (join directly) and private groups (require approval). Here's how to find and join either type.

On the Mobile App

Finding a Group

  1. Open Tabella and log into your account

  2. Tap the search bar at the top center of the screen
    ​

  3. Browse Near You communities (make sure location is enabled on your device and Tabella has permission to access it)
    ​

  4. Don't see your group? Open the Communities tab for additional results

  5. Search by name using the search bar while in the Communities tab

Tip: If your group appears in the "Near You" section, it's within your area. Enabling location services gives you better local results.

Joining a Group

  1. Tap on the group to view its profile

  2. Tap Join (for public groups) or Send Request (for private groups)

  3. For private groups, wait for the admin to approve your request


On the Web

Finding a Group

  1. Go to web.tabella.app and log in

  2. Click Communities in the left menu

  3. Browse Near You communities (enable location on your device and grant Tabella permission)

  4. Can't find your group? Use the filters or search by name in the search bar to the right of the filters
    ​

Tip: Location-based results work best when you've enabled location permissions in your browser.

Joining a Group

  1. Click on the group to view its profile

  2. Click Join (for public groups) or Send Request (for private groups)

  3. For private groups, the group admin will review and approve your request


What's the Difference?

  • Public Groups: Anyone can join immediately by tapping/clicking "Join"

  • Private Groups: You'll need to send a request. The group admin will review it before you're added

Still Need Help?

If you're having trouble finding or joining a group, try:

  • Checking that your location permissions are enabled

  • Searching by the exact group name

  • Refreshing the app or browser page
