Bring back open groups to Community Feed

[aarong5.22]

I got my first fitbit a few years ago and was very impressed. After the google acquisition fitbit discontinued their premium workout videos and community. The community was one of the best fitbit features, do you plan on bringing it back?

I used to be able to find groups and find friends now,I can't find groups to join as they are all closed and you have to be invited by a friend. I do not have any friends on my fitbit. My friends list disappeard after connecting through google. Please bring back the open groups. Perhaps give users the option to make thier profiles private or not

What is the point of even having a group or community section on the app if you can't join any of them or can't search for a group to have like-minded people work out with you. I would think that that was common sense but apparently I was wrong.
