Ultimately, any feature can be abused. The physics engine, the chat - anything. If you don’t want the risk of users or developers abusing these features, then you shouldn’t be on this platform. The risk is inherent to functionality being present, and while it can be mitigated, it can’t be avoided entirely.

Bumping because, like all of us, agree this should be a feature. Would help with community growth.

GroupService:PromptGroupJoin()

This would be a crucial feature as well for roleplay groups, since it would allow new gens to easily join and become involved in those communities, and fully manage group membership through the experiences. It’d allow them to become much more relevant than they have in a while.
Agree, this featured has been suggested for a very long time and has lots of support. Not sure why they havnt added yet.

I agree with this, it would be great for all groups and it would help with he growth of groups. The only thing is I would have a delay on the prompt like when you purchase a game pass in game so you understand that your joining a group.

local GroupService = game:GetService("GroupService")

local function RequestGroupJoin(Plr)

end
Please!
game.GroupService:PromptGroupJoin(number) game.GroupService:PromptLeaveGroup(number)
local GroupService = game:GetService("GroupService")
local GroupId = 32380007
GroupService:PromptGroupJoin(GroupId)
local GroupService = game:GetService("GroupService")
local GroupId = 1
GroupService:PromptLeaveGroup(GroupId)
warning when the user presses Join on the prompt that joins them a private group/community:
The community you have joined is private. A join request has been sent instead, and it's now awaiting approval from the community holder.

It seems like the middle-ground solution would be for Roblox to penalize games that misuse these features (for example, by immediately bombarding players with requests to favorite the game, turn notifications on, etc.), in place of holding back features like these for everybody.
Judging by how Roblox has been treating these types of games recently, this seems realistic.

It’s going to be almost half a decade (5 years) since OP created this post about this heavily anticipated feature which has been supported by most devs & would be incredibly useful for community growth, yet… it doesn’t get a single response from Roblox? (I still love you Roblox)
If you are going to change groups to communities, why not as well add an API to enable players to join groups. (of course, it can be used in a wrong way but that’s why you can add restrictions in place)

Bump, this should have been added back in 2014.

Bumping, It’s a complete joke how this is not a feature yet.

Roblox also promised this in 2014. People have been waiting, now for over a decade, and requesting it constantly since. I registered my account after they promised this. My account is a decade old. They have had plenty of time to add this, the community clearly supports it, and yet they sit on their hands.
Instead they add random obfuscations to useful systems like game sales logs, permissions, roles, and other features that frankly haven’t proven particularly beneficial to anyone I’ve met, including myself. This would have been useful forever ago for me. The ability to manage ranks through this would have been great too, but this would be a nice start.
It would make community / group features accessible for newer players, and more easily accessible for the international community my game has drawn seemingly at random, since it’s still very much a website-focused system.
So where is it? Give this feature some much-needed love, Roblox. I beg of you.
bumping this because this feature is a must have
