Groups on the social network VKontakte are created for like-minded people united by any purpose. If the creator of the community seeks to constantly expand the number of its participants, he will widely advertise it among Internet users and wind up subscribers. But what to do if the information in the group is intended for certain people and it is not necessary (and sometimes simply impossible) to take a wide discussion?

Based on the needs of users, the developers of social networks have provided the possibility of creating three types of communities - open, closed and even private. Moreover, keep in mind: this applies only to groups, public - you cannot make closed.

Types of groups in VKontakte

What is the difference between the varieties of communities in VKontakte from each other?

Open - Any owner of the VKontakte profile sees this group, can get acquainted with content and enter it or get out of among the participants.
Closed - At the entrance to the page of such a group, you can see its name, a brief description and status, as well as a register of members, an avatar and a site (if it exists). To get acquainted with the content or become a community participant, you need to fill out an appropriate application and expect the consent of the administrator.

Private - The status itself suggests that the creators of the group very strictly protect the information contained in it, and its members. Therefore, at the initial entrance to the page of such a community, a third -party user will be able to see only a warning inscription that the group is private and access to it can be obtained exclusively after the administrator invitation. But how to achieve such an invitation is your personal difficulties.
