Step 1:

After you log into your Follr account you will see the Activity Screen:

Step 2:

This screen highlights two places to find new communities:

(i) From the top menu you can click on “Communities”:

Follr Support - Community Discovery 3

(ii) In the right panel you will see “Discover Communities”:

Follr Support - Community Discovery 2

Let’s look at both.

Step 3:

If you click on “Communities” from the top menu you see a page that by default shows you the communities you are currently a member of:

As you enter text the results filter automatically:

You can click on any of the search results and join the community. There isn’t a limit on how many communities you can join.

Step 4:

If you click the “More >>” link under the “Discover Communities” section in the right panel you go to the same page and through the same process as detailed in ‘Step 3’ above but there is an extra layer of help – a popup that provides details about a specific community:

Again there isn’t a limit on how many communities you can join.

Over the past few decades, the sport of rugby has grown tremendously in popularity. Rugby has specific rules (called “laws”) in place such as the ball cannot be passed forward and each team switches sides at the half. Rugby has 4 different ways to score points, and they are conversion kicks (2 points), dropped goals (3 points), penalty kicks (3 points), and tries (5 points). On the playing field, a rugby team can have 15 players at a time, and the jersey number is dictated by the position played. Like other sports, rugby has words specific to it, and popular rugby terminology include lineout, maul, ruck, and scrum. If you are looking for a new sports interest, consider taking up rugby.
