Joomla Facebook Group

Joomla has a Facebook Group too. An alternative support channel where you can post the issues you're facing and get them solved by the community members. The Joomla Facebook Group is the most active group I have seen in among other Joomla related groups as it has more than 25,000 active members and your question is most likely to be answered in just a few minutes!

Like in every Facebook Group, there are guidelines to keep the group spam-free and productive. So, just make sure, you are not spamming with your services or products, otherwise, you will get banned immediately without any prior intimation.
