Bianca Blanco: Thank you! I just tried it out today. 💕 Seems like this works only when joining through a PC. I tried joining using an invitation link as an existing member through my phone with the app already installed. I clicked the link > was directed to the page where it would ask me to download the app > clicked "Download from Playstore" > since it's already installed, I clicked "open" but it only shows the text "Could not find any channels" . No "join" button similar to what shows up when joining through a PC.

Workaround for groups set as unjoinable: Personally, I've set up Zapier to handle this automatically. For example, if they are paying through a different payment processor, then you're tagging them in your email auto-responder, you could set up a zap to add them to the group. On the welcome email that you send out, you can give the invite link and a caveat that if they're already part of your community, access should have been added automatically & they'll see it the next time they log in.

Workaround: If your other groups are joinable, you could direct them to go into their settings & join all of the groups they're interested in. I would also like to be able have existing group members also join other groups via link. I will add though that the current setup actually helps in the situation of a member not re-using an invite link to re-join an unjoinable group you have removed them from. (My use case is I have paying members who pay through an outside payment processer. I'll send them an invite link. If they stop paying, I'll remove them from the group. Then I don't want them re-joining using a link from an old email.)
