You should create both: a page to attract newcomers and a group to maintain the community; however, if you only have the resources for one, choose the page.

I’d personally go with a group if the main goal is building a real community. Pages are great for posting content and getting reach, but groups usually get better discussions and engagement. You can also use both together if possible.

Groups generally foster better interaction and connection among members.

I’d use a Page for reach and a Group for community. The Page is easier to discover and scale, while the Group takes more moderation but usually builds stronger loyalty. If you had to pick one, what matters more to you—fast growth or an active community?

Page reach is basically dead organically 2-5% of followers see your posts.
Groups still get real engagement and the algorithm pushes them.

A Facebook Page is easier to manage, but a Facebook Group offers greater growth potential. If you want to build a community, you should choose a Facebook Group.

Building a group would be better, in my opinion, because everyone is equal there and can post whatever they want.
