How to Use Facebook Groups to Actually Grow Your Forum in 2025



Facebook groups are great for quick chats and grabbing attention, but if you want a community that sticks around and really connects, your forum is where it happens, the place for deeper conversations and real relationships.


The key is
Be helpful, not pushy. Show up, answer questions, drop real value. When people see you’re genuine, they’ll be curious about your forum.

• Share your forum when it fits. If a topic needs more than a few comments, say something like, “We actually have a whole thread on this over at [forum link]. You’ll find more detailed conversations there.”
• Give people a reason to make the move. Exclusive content, contests, or threads only on your forum make it worth their time.
• Get admins in on it. If you can, ask them to pin a post or mention your forum now and then. Admins backing you up makes a big difference.
• Run events or challenges that start in the group but finish on your forum. It’s a smooth way to get people over without forcing it.

Facebook groups get people’s attention, but forums build community. Use groups as your doorway, and let your forum be the home where your audience really grows.

I haven't taken advantage of Facebook Groups yet but I have done this on Reddit and it definitely worked! I just don't get on Facebook much these days but it might be worth giving this a shot.
