is there a safe way to make a public joinable group
I’m setting up a group that anyone can join or leave on their own, and I want it to be public-facing without turning into a moderation headache.

how do i see which setting is controlling pageview event growth?

why is the calendar plugin blank after the latest update?
I’m stuck in the middle of a rollout and the calendar view is coming up empty for everyone. I checked the plugin settings and the component is still enabled, but the page just spins and then shows nothing. Has anyone seen this after an upgrade? I need the exact place to look next, because I’d rather fix the setting than…
