Groups certainly are not what they once were however some are still very active. We can share a post in up to 5 groups.
To look at just posts in any particular group just go to the group. On the left-hand navigation, you will see Groups. That will list the groups you are subscribed to.
If you are looking for all groups ... just go here:

A valid question, Rocky. Groups have definitely changed since I first joined AR. There are many as you have likely discovered. Some are moderated and maintained but there are many which seem neglected.
Reading some of the posts that were written about the most AR Tuesday Zoom Meeting with Ben Kinney and it seems he addressed it as part of a long-range strategy to make ActiveRain more relevant. Of course, I wasn't at the meeting and going by what I read second hand. Hopefully others will fill in the important/correct information should I be misinformed.
If you go to the bottom of any page you will see Groups listed. You can click on that and each will show up - search to your heart's content.
For me, I admit to using the following function when looking for posts to read and avoiding the page after page of market reports by a few members.
Good luck as you continue with your splashdown.

I always liked to go to the "contest" link where you most likely will find the most dedicated activerainers participating.

Purpose? Same subject matter.
Most groups have been abandoned except for maybe 5 or so. If you're looking for activity that would be the place.
You can always read group posts.

Rocky different groups have different set of eyes that see them. Some people go to Groups to read posts, others read people they follow and some people just read the ones they see on the thread with time lines....

Hi Rocky- first, if you scroll down to the bottom of the page you'll see a section called Groups!
Each group is different and has different requirements, etc. Some are active, and others, not so much. I don't think that groups are as active as they used to be.

Many of the groups are no longer active. I do share some of my posts with a couple of groups but no longer visit the groups.

Rocky, I rarely put my posts into a group, they have lost their luster. In those early years, I used to go to the groups and find posts to read, not anymore.

Groups (almost all of them) have been abandoned and who knows how many years it's been since somebody posted in them. There are some that are still active on a daily basis. BananaTudes is one of them. I did hear on the zoom talk that groups will be cleaned up which is a good thing. Let's make them more valuable as move foward.

if you scroll to the bottom of any open AR page at the bottom right is a list of "important links" groups are one of them.

Not sure the purpose of the group is tightly followed but I say groups are created for certain things such as people who use video or are faith based etc.

Groups were a good idea, too bad they never quite got them to work as intended.
