To search for communities, click on “Communities” on the menu on the left.

You’ll land on the following page with a fairly comprehensive list of communities. Scroll until you find one of interest and then click “Join.”

## What if I want to join a specific community without endlessly scrolling for it?

A great question. You simply use the Search function at the top of the page. Here’s how it looks using the Search function (I will search for the 2 communities I created, FreeCompliments and Am I The Asshole):

When searching, make sure that your spelling is correct! The search engine is not able to find similar results even if the spelling is off by a single character.

When clicking on the community, you’ll land on the community’s front page. From there, you can click around and comment on people’s posts, or publish your own.

That’s it! You’ve now mastered the art and science of searching for and joining communities.
