If you are looking for the Groups page, it moved. As of September 8, 2026, Roblox's own help centre calls the feature Communities throughout, and roblox.com/groups issues a 302 redirect to roblox.com/my/communities. Same feature, new name: a named space with members, roles, a wall, a shared Robux pool, and sometimes its own experiences.
This guide covers joining one as a member. If you want to run your own, the separate guide on how to make a Roblox group covers creation, roles, and payouts from the owner's side.
Correction, October 6, 2026: earlier versions of this guide said every community has a Base Member role at rank 1, that custom roles carry rank numbers from 1 to 254, that role permissions include posting on the wall and the Shout, and that your primary community is what shows on your profile. Roblox's article on community roles, revised on October 5, 2026, now gives no rank numbers and a different list of permissions, and no Roblox help page read for this guide links the primary community to your profile. The roles section below follows the current article, and the profile claim is gone. Smaller statements no Roblox page makes were removed or reworded too, including that joining puts you on the member list at once and that a community left without a transfer always ends up with no owner.
Find a community and join it
On the Roblox website, click Communities in the left navigation. From there you can select a community to view or join, or create one. Open the one you want and use the Join Community button on its page.
On the mobile app, tap the More button (the "..." item at the bottom of the screen or in the left navigation, depending on the device), then tap Communities. Search by name using the search bar under My Communities at the top right, then open the community and join from its page.
If the community has no manual approval or verification requirement, that is the whole flow.
When the button gives you a pending request instead
Some owners turn on Manual Approval. When that setting is on, pressing Join Community submits a request rather than adding you, and you wait. The owner reviews requests under Configure Community, then Members, then Requests, and either accepts or denies each one.
Two things are worth knowing while you wait. Roblox's joining article says that, depending on the community, the owner may have specific requirements before approving a request, such as sending them a personal message first. And if the owner later switches Manual Approval off while requests are still open, every pending request is accepted automatically.
Roblox's articles do not say how long a request can stay pending.
Verification levels can block the join
Separate from manual approval, an owner can set a Verification Level that you must meet before you can join or even request to join. Roblox defines four:
| Level | What the joiner needs |
|---|---|
| None (default) | No account verification |
| Low | Phone, email, or ID verified |
| Medium | ID verified, or both phone and email verified |
| High | ID verified |
If you do not meet the level, pressing Join Community prompts you to verify your account rather than joining. The rule applies only to people who are not members yet, so raising the level does not eject existing members who fall short. For how Roblox's ID check works, see the guide on voice chat and age verification.
You can belong to 100 at once
Roblox caps membership at 100 communities per account, and creation at 100 communities of your own. If you are at the limit, joining a new one means leaving an old one first. There is no paid upgrade to that cap in the current documentation.
What you actually get as a member
Every community automatically includes a base membership role. Every member is assigned it by default, it cannot be deleted, and owners can edit its permissions to decide what every member can do by default, so what an ordinary member can do differs from community to community.
Owners, and members with permission to manage roles, can create more roles for free, each with a unique name. Roles are listed in order of authority: a role higher in the list has more authority than one below it. A member always keeps the base role, can hold one or more others, and has the combined permissions of all of them. The permissions Roblox lists include inviting people and approving join requests, kicking or banning members whose highest role is below the member's own, changing the community's name, description and emblem, managing community revenue and making payouts, creating community-owned avatar items such as clothing, creating and editing community-owned experiences, posting community announcements, and creating, removing, locking or pinning forum posts.
Access to the community Wall requires being logged in and aged 13 or above. Forum access is separate again and depends on the community's tier: Basic communities get announcements, polls, reactions, events, and linked experiences; Social communities add forums where members 16 and over can create topics and replies and members 13 and over can read and react; Professional communities extend posting to verified 13-to-15 members. Tiers move automatically as a community meets or stops meeting the criteria, so a forum you could post in last month may not be there this month.
You can also make a community your primary community with Make Primary in the three-dot menu on its page.
How to leave a community
Open Communities, select the community, and use the Leave Community button on the right side of the page. The same option sits in the three-dot menu in the upper right of the community page.
One warning that catches people out: if you leave a community you own, you cannot regain ownership by rejoining later, so transfer ownership first, from Configure Community and then Settings; Roblox notes that a transfer cannot be reversed. Its articles differ on what happens if you leave without transferring: the joining article says the community will be owned by no one, while the article on creating a community says any remaining member can then claim ownership, and that the community stays without an owner only if no members are left. Roblox also states there is currently no way to delete a community once created, and its name can only be changed once every 90 days.
The scams that use community invites
Any community promising free Robux for joining is running a scam. Roblox says any offer of free Robux is a scam and that there is no such thing as free Robux offers, tricks, or codes, whether a person, video, website, or game claims otherwise; the guide on why free Robux is a scam walks through why the offer cannot work.
Robux from a community's funds reach members through Roblox's own payout tools: one-time or recurring payouts made by the owner or a member allowed to spend community revenue. Nobody needs your password, your one-time code, or a login on an outside site to pay you, and Roblox says sharing login information is the most common way players lose their accounts. If a recruitment message pushes you off-platform to "verify" or "get ranked", treat it as theft in progress and use report and block.
Buying or selling accounts breaks Roblox's Terms of Use, which prohibit both; account trading risks covers what can go wrong. Turn on 2-Step Verification before you go joining recruitment communities, and review who can message and invite you in account privacy settings.
