Linktree for Community Admins: Why It Falls Short (and What to Use Instead)

If you run a Facebook Group, WhatsApp Community, Discord server or Telegram group, there's a good chance you've already put a Linktree in your bio. It's the default answer to "I need somewhere to point people." And for a handful of links, it works.

The problem shows up the moment your community needs more than a list of links — which is almost immediately.

Linktree doesn't know what an FAQ is

Every community has the same five questions on repeat: how do I join, is it free, what are the rules, where's the schedule, who do I ask. Linktree gives you buttons. It doesn't give you a place to actually answer any of that, so the questions keep landing in your DMs exactly like before you added the link.

Linktree doesn't have a rules section

You can link out to a rules document, but nothing about the page itself tells a new member what's expected before they post for the first time. Rules that live one click away from your bio link get read about as often as rules pinned in a chat — which is to say, barely.

Linktree doesn't understand "join the right group"

If your community spans more than one group or channel — a main WhatsApp group and a splinter group for events, a Discord server with restricted channels, a Telegram channel plus a discussion group — Linktree just gives you a flat list of links with no context. People click the wrong one, or DM you to ask which is right.

Linktree doesn't have events, forms, or quick replies

All useful for a link page in general. All specifically useful for a community, where "when's the next meetup" and "can I sign up" are two of the most common messages an admin gets.

None of this is a knock on Linktree — it's built for creators pointing people to Instagram, a shop, or a newsletter. It's a general tool, and it's good at being general. It just isn't built for the specific job of running a community, which is a different job: answering questions, setting expectations, and sending different people to the right place.

That's the gap joinour.group is built to close — one page with FAQs, rules, events, forms and join buttons labeled for exactly the platforms community admins actually use, free to start.
