Use **Discover** to compare communities before you join.

1. Open **Discover** from the main navigation.
2. Search by community name or topic. Use the **Category** and **Language** filters to narrow the list.
3. Open a community card to review its **About** page, description, member count, language, price, and included features.
4. Choose the action the community offers: **Join community**, **Request access**, a plan or purchase button, or **Notify me** when plans are not available yet.
5. Sign in or create an account if prompted, then finish the access questions or checkout shown.

## Understand the access screen

Each creator controls how people enter their community:

- **Free** communities can let you join immediately or require approval.
- **Private** communities can show public information while keeping posts, lessons, events, and the member directory restricted.
- **Paid** communities can offer one or more plans. Read the billing interval, included access, cancellation terms, and any approval requirement before paying.
- If an **Access** link returns you to Discover, that community is not offering a separate access screen. Use its **About** or **Plans** page instead.

Already a member? The About page shows that status and links you back to the member experience instead of asking you to join again.

## Join from an invitation or offer page

A creator may send you a public offer link that starts with `/f/`. Before you act, confirm the community name, what the offer includes, the price and billing interval, and that the page is on `clases.community` or an official custom domain for that community.

Use the action shown on the page to sign in, create an account, join a waitlist, or continue to checkout. A confirmation or thank-you page means the submitted step was received; it does not always mean a paid membership is already active. If the redirect is slow, do not submit payment again. Check **My Groups**, **Settings → Payment history**, and the target community first.

Never share a one-time verification code or full card details in chat or email. If the offer no longer exists, ask the creator for a current link instead of changing the URL yourself.

## Find a membership you already have

Open **My Groups** to see the communities connected to the signed-in account. In **Settings → Communities**, you can reorder or hide memberships without leaving them. If a community is missing, confirm that you signed in with the same email address used to join or pay before creating another account.
