Good evening everyone, I've got a “problem” and I'm not quite sure how to tackle it.

I moderate three Facebook groups, which I use to post my articles. The group administrator has absolutely nothing to do with the groups, BUT he refuses to give up ownership of them (I've offered to buy the groups from him).

On the largest group, we are several moderators on paper, but in reality there were two of us doing the work (voluntarily). Except that my sidekick cracked today.

I thought about creating a 'dissident' group (where I could apply MY moderation policy) but here's the issue: how do you 'get' the members of a group when you don't have their email addresses, and you're not friends with them on Facebook? I've turned the problem on its head, but I can't see anything.

So if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Another subsidiary question: I've noticed that Facebook offers me numerous groups that are thematically linked to the groups in which I'm a moderator. How does the algorithm work? If I buy 1,000 members (I'm giving a random number) for a Facebook group, when someone does a search on the keyword, will the newly created group appear well ranked? Or is it a combination: number of members + number of publications per day/week?

In short: how do you go about it?
 
There are 2 ways to join your group:1 is you share your experiences and knowledge so that people pay more attention to you. From there you can attract people to your group.2 is that you spam on community groups but I think this method is no longer as effective as before.

for the option 2 : is it because of banning accs ?

You haven't understood what you've read at all, in fact.
I'm already a moderator in the groups in question, so I can do what I want, BUT the administrator doesn't want to give me full powers despite an offer to buy me out.
Hence, the fact that I want to “empty” the current group and move its members to a group where I would have full powers.
 
A few news items.
I created a new group on Thursday night.
I have a 'ghost' account on Facebook, which I use for other things.
I've sent friend requests to people who are members of one of the three Facebook groups. Not all of them accepted my request (so I can't send any new requests at the moment) and of those who did accept, only a few have joined the group.
In short, at the moment I have eleven members.
I'm posting but it's not really taking off at the moment.
It's a really complicated thing.
If I was sure it would have an influence on the band's visibility, I'd buy members.
 
I also purchased a Facebook group before, which requires a significant amount of content and expenses to maintain in order to ensure the group's activity meets your objectives.
 
You can initially acquire your targeted users through paid advertising. Once you reach a certain number of members, you can open other social media accounts to attract free targeted users and enhance the influence of your group. However, nowadays, social media platforms generally do not offer much free traffic, and any social media platform seeking to attract more users needs to be built on a certain fan base.

If the guy doesn't want to sell, I'm not going to put a gun to his head and say "give me the keys".

I'm not going to give Facebook money to advertise a band, don't get me wrong.
 
Small update: I've made another offer to the group administrator to buy it back.
The guy refuses to sell even though he does nothing with the group!
I've never seen such a stupid guy in my life!
 
i am interested

As I know, you cannot move members from group to group and make the old one empty (((
Maybe there's a tool on the marketplace that can copy the users' information and add/invite them to the group automatically, you can try posting on the Hire a Freelancer forum
Another evil thinking of me is if that guy doesn't want to sell the group even though he has nothing to do with it, then just hack it (JK :P)

I admit it's tempting, but I won't stoop to his level.
I've tried another approach. In fact, I think this guy is just as stupid as a broom without a brush.
 
The continuation of my adventures!

Having failed to convince the group admin to sell me his group, I thought I'd buy some members.

Except: I couldn't find anyone capable of selling me members of geolocated Facebook groups. I did post an ad here, but it went unanswered.
But as I was poking around, I came across someone selling several Facebook groups, including groups in the country I was interested in.
So I bought a group of 42,300 people.
Since yesterday, I've been cleaning up the group because — as you can imagine — it's been abandoned.
In 2023, it was possible to become an administrator of a group if the administrator/founder no longer had an account. I presume that the creator of the group no longer has an FB account and that my seller has gone through this.
Anyway, now I'm starting to clean up. There were more than 5,000 posts per month.
Obviously, it's all spam.
Fortunately for me, the group is just over a year old, not numerous years old.
I've found a script that automates the deletion of posts.
The only problem is that you have to let it run by itself on the browser, otherwise it stops, so this evening I took out my laptop and let it run on the laptop while I use the big machine.
I've locked the group so that nobody can post for the time being.
When I've finished cleaning up, which will take me a few days, I'll change the identity of the group and put up my own posts.
I'm also going to see if there's a way of automatically kicking out all members from certain countries.
Then I'll be able to see whether the number of members influences the search results.
 
As far as I know, there is no way to transfer members from the old group to a new group. The only way is to notify the old group that you have just created a new group and hope they will also join the new group, of course with the group. You need to regularly post as well as share experiences and knowledge necessary to attract users to join and stay.
