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.
Find a community and join it
On the Roblox website, click Communities in the left navigation. From that page you can browse, search, or open a specific community. 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.
That is the whole flow when the community is open. Nothing is deducted, there is no fee to join, and you appear on the member list immediately.
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. Owners sometimes have their own conditions posted in the description, such as sending a message first, and Roblox's support documentation names that as normal practice rather than a scam signal by itself. And if the owner later switches Manual Approval off while requests are still open, every pending request is accepted automatically.
There is no queue position and no timer shown. If a request sits unanswered, the community may simply be inactive.
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. Age and identity verification is the same system covered in the guide on voice chat and age verification, so if you have already gone through it for voice, you likely satisfy the higher levels.
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 has a Base Member role at rank 1. That role is created automatically, cannot be deleted, and is what you land on when you join. Owners can edit what it permits, so what an ordinary member can do differs from community to community.
Above it, owners can create custom roles with unique names and rank numbers from 1 to 254. A member can hold more than one role, and their abilities are the sum of the permissions across all of them. The permissions cover posting on the wall, deleting other people's posts, seeing and posting the community Shout, accepting join requests, kicking or banning lower-ranked members, spending community funds, and creating or editing community clothing and experiences.
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 mark one community as your primary one from the three-dot menu on its page, which is what displays on your profile.
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. Transfer ownership first, from Configure Community and then Settings, or the community ends up owned by nobody. 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 lying. There is no mechanism on Roblox that pays you for membership, and generators, "Robux giveaway" sites, and survey pages are all scams; the guide on why free Robux is a scam walks through why the offer cannot work.
Real money in a community moves one way only: from the community funds pool, through Roblox's own payout system, to members the owner chooses. Nobody needs your password, your one-time code, or a login on an outside site to pay you, and handing those over is how accounts get taken. 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, or a community itself, for real money breaks Roblox's Terms of Use and puts both sides at risk of losing everything, as covered in account trading risks. Turn on 2-Step Verification before you go joining recruitment communities, and review who can message and invite you in account privacy settings.
