Why be in groups? Especially if you’re not really the type? See top image. All organized groups —DK’s included, and not the local/geographic groups alone— embody potential force for real-world change, and NEVER has that mattered more than this November’s ballot-box.
You can post about kittens and puppies at the same time as about how to help get out the Dem vote. Ditto posting about space or gardening or history or, of course, politics.
DK has possibly over a thousand groups and diary series across a huge range of interests, some defunct and some long-running, others in-between. But you don’t have to literally join any to read and comment at diaries originated or reblogged at a group; just click on their blogview or on their diary-list page (that’s the group-name link in the listings below), bookmark the page in your browser, and drop by whenever you like.
Same for groups you discover by any other route here.
If you want automatic delivery to your Activity Stream of diaries originated at a particular group —many groups only reblog, so this won’t work for that, ‘tho’— click on the group’s name below, and on the page you get you’ll see —centered nearish the top— ♥ Follow to click on. (It’ll become Unfollow and that’s how you know you did it rite.)
You’ll also see there the buttons/links for Profile page, Members page, etc. If you’ve posted enough diaries that you’ve got the hang of how that’s done and you would like to write “for” a given group based on its profile/mission-statement, use the members page to find an admin who is currently active, and then kosmail to that admin your request to join, with maybe a link or 2 to diaries you’ve already posted, so they can see your work if they’d like to. (You may need to click on individual names at the members page, to reach their personal profile pages and see how recently they’ve commented as the best measure of how active they currently are.)
For more how-to, click on #NewDKGroups in this diary’s TAG LIST in the left margin — all the past diaries in this series have pretty extensive info and links to yet more! You can hover on that tag until the outline of a heart shows, and then click on it, to get future diaries in this series delivered to yr stream.
