Facebook MARKETPLACE, Can't join groups? Not banned though?

Oh, you join too many groups. If you don't use it for a long time and suddenly one day you are too active, it will be considered abnormal and restricted.
Hi guys

Want some insight on this. I have an old facebook account, had to do a clear out so thought i'd try the marketplace.

Listed like 8 items no issues. I joined about 30 groups , not a problem

Next day i joined another 20 ish groups , no issues.

The day after i realised that I could not join any more groups, now there was no ERROR, the join button is there, once clicked it the join button goes grey, but you dont actually join the group.

I am thinking this is some kind of throttling and they think i am a bot?

However i have 0 violations , so am confused now. Why would they not just send a message saying you are temp limited?

Assuming I am limited, what is the usual turn around before things settle.

Thanks
 
If you can't join groups on Facebook Marketplace but aren't banned, there are a few potential reasons: some groups have specific requirements for joining, such as answering questions or waiting for admin approval. account Restrictions: Your account might have certain restrictions due to activity, even if you aren't banned.
 
I think it's because you spammed liking too many Facebook pages in a short period of time, so Facebook suspects you're spamming and temporarily restricted your ability to join groups. I suggest you keep the habit of trying to like pages every 2-3 days to check when Facebook lifts the restriction for you.
 
Yeah most likely, either way its nonsense, its been over 1 week now, still cant join a group, cba with FB
 
Perhaps your sudden increase in activity caused Facebook to activate anti-spam or anti-bot measures, limiting your ability to join the group. Processing time is usually 24 hours
 
Some groups have specific profile requirements to join, such as answering questions or waiting for admin approval. Or because your account has been inactive for a long time, suddenly too much activity one day will be considered abnormal. I recommend you keep the habit of liking the page every 2-3 days to check when Facebook will lift the restriction for you.

The problem is that you join too many groups in 1 day and in 2 consecutive days.
This makes Facebook suspect that you are a bot and prevents you from joining more groups.
Please stop joining groups for about 1 week, then try again with a small number and gradually increase.
 
FB likely flagged your activity as bot-like due to rapid group joining. This is a silent restriction, common for preventing spam. Usually, limits lift in a few days to a week if you slow down activity and avoid triggering further flags.
 
Facebook has algorithms in place to detect and prevent spam. Joining too many groups in a short period of time can be flagged by the system as unusual activity, like a bot. Even if you don’t violate community policies, the system may temporarily restrict your activity to protect the platform.

Time limit is usually within 24 hours, you should join 6 to 10 groups per day with regular frequency, for example, about 30 minutes to 1 hour apart to avoid Facebook scanning you as a bot.

Facebook blocks your ability to join groups because you join too many groups at once or one day Facebook may identify you as a post or have an unusual account, you should limit your participation to about 6 to 10 groups a day.
 
Your account has been restricted what to do now check the features to unlock it
 
You have joined too many groups in a short time, Fb may have judged you as a spam entity, you should take things slowly
 
The queue to approve your group membership is full. You must wait for the groups to approve you.
