I just tried creating a group thinking it would be public and was disappointed to realize it was a closed group. My goal was to make friends and have the support/interest I was hoping for in like-minded individuals. I don't have friends to create closed groups. There are only a small amount of groups to choose from and none of them are what I was hoping for. I think this would be a great addition to the Fitbit community section!

Really?

Three years?! 
What is even the point of having a closed group?? 

Hello Fitbit?  
What's the plan?

I would like to see an open group for those who are taking Lizard Spit (Ozempic and similar glutides). It seems to be a popular topic in the diabetes and weight loss groups

It's ridiculous that Fitbit hasn't added this very basic feature. I want to make a group for the employees where I work and just share it via a direct link. Facebook has had this capability for years. 
I guess we'll be utilizing some other app.

I also favor this.  This would provide the ability to have smaller group feeds and post for a smaller sized community or region.  I will not join some of these larger ones because I really don't care to see posts from 2.3 million people. Lol. Strava has this capability. And it's used quite often to find like minded fitness connections.

I haven't had a Fitbit since 2016. I just got a new one and they closed all the groups. I enjoyed competing in the monthly leaderboard and it motivated me to take more steps. I dont think people care to see posts, we want to see everyone's steps.  #fitbitfail

They used to have this as an option. I don't get why fitbit stopped. To me it was the best part of having a fitbit
