Adding relevant people can help in the beginning, but the group still needs a clear reason for people to stay and participate.

In the early stages, I'd focus on building an engaged community rather than just increasing member count. Invite people who are genuinely interested in the topic, post content that encourages discussion, and be active in related communities.
A smaller group with real engagement usually grows more sustainably than a large but inactive one.

Clearly define your goals within this group before adding people with similar needs.
This will ensure your posts receive more attention. If the group members are not your target audience from the start, your posts will certainly not attract any customers.

What is your group's target audience? What is its purpose? Please clarify this.

Can you rename it to a softer name temporarily? Once you grow it you can rename it back and it will help grow your authority.

Could it be you posted too many, causing facebook's system to flag your activity as spam and restrict you?

At the beginning I think getting a small group of active members is more valuable than adding a large number of people
If new members see regular discussions and genuine engagement they are much more likely to participate and invite others over time

You need to find the right target audience in the initial stage to increase acceptable engagement for a rapidly growing group. Posts and topics that spark discussion are always valued more highly than ordinary content.

FB community builders confirm that manual friend requesting triggers acc restrictions and yields low conversion, so the most effective early stage strategy is using valuable lead magnets to drive traffic from personal profiles, short form videos, or targeted ads directly into the group. good luck

I'd focus on making the group useful before trying to scale it aggressively. Invite people who are genuinely relevant to the niche, give them a clear reason to join, and use simple discussion-based posts to get the first members talking. Once there is some activity, recommendations and organic discovery tend to become much easier.
Growing a new group takes time I d focus on posting useful content consistently and encouraging real discussions so people have a reason to stay inviting people who are genuinely interested usually works better than trying to grow the numbers too quickly it is a slow process but it feels more sustainable

The initial phase is often challenging, but don't get discouraged. Facebook remains effective for growth if you maintain engaging content and use smart targeting. Groups and ads can still deliver results.

When it comes to a Forex community, I would not put my efforts into recruiting as many people from other communities as possible bcz only a few of them would become active members of the community. It is neccessary to choose a particular niche to build a community and make the community truly valuable in the particular area. When it comes to niche marketing, it is possible for analysis to become the major reason for joining the community.

In the early days, I'd focus on starting conversations, not just posting content. A small group with active discussions grows much faster than a large group with silent members, and word of mouth becomes your best growth engine.
Growing a Facebook group from scratch is tough. In my experience, the biggest wins come from partnering with related groups or pages, posting valuable content consistently, and encouraging current members to invite friends. Manual outreach works, but focus on quality and engagement rather than just adding as many people as possible.

The best way to grow a Facebook group is not to treat it as an advertising billboard, but to dedicate yourself to building a value-driven community. At its heart lies the goal of attracting the right people, consistently offering value, and fostering genuine interaction, so that members eventually become spontaneous brand advocates.
