After using Facebook groups as communities for several hobbies/games over the past 7 years, my conclusion is: I miss forums.
In theory it's handy to have everything in one place but the truth is there is no hobby where I want to follow every minuscule aspect of it around the globe, and in Facebook there's also no way to filter for the content you want.

So I get flooded with memes, posts about local deals in other countries, lots of "look what I just bought" ant very little about the hobbies/games themselves. Any complaint about this is always met with "Just start your own group".

These offtopic posts dominate the groups and end up clogging my timeline, pushing away posts from family and friends. This is a lot more important now that I'm abroad.

In conclusion, Facebook groups should be used in moderation, and with moderation.
