I have no real idea, but it's possible a new account without friends or regular posts may have been flagged as a spam or scam account. Many groups will check out your homepage to see some activity before accepting your request to join. You have to share something even if it's just pictures of your pets or interests.

Don't know what you did wrong...sounds like doing something right to me. ;) Facebook needs

to go the way of the rest of the "what's wrong with America" bundle.

Do you mean that Facebook has disabled your account? So you can't get in to Facebook at all? Or that the groups blocked you from the group?

Facebook has many glitches; it may be ok in a day or 2. If not contact Facebook.

(I liked bpath's questions, we don't know quite what you mean and it makes a big difference)

Geez. I had a facebook account for about 3 hours haha.

Did you just use your first and last name? There are a lot of people with the same name. Try again with your full name and as wildchild said, put something on even if it is food or flowers.

Don't ask to join the groups for a few days.

Keep trying until you get a real person.

This is what I googled to find what I did, but it won't even let me look unless I log out.

I manage a FB group. When people with new accounts, no friends, no posts of their own, no pictures, etc, send a request to join, the request is declined. Those look like spam or bot accounts. You'll find even if your account hadn't been disabled you wouldn't be allowed to join groups. Your request is legit but to administrators of groups it looks suspect. The groups you tried to join could have reported your account as spam. That could have caused your account to be disabled.

On FB marketplace there are people with no info that have recently joined fb, and if you list an item for sale they will message you that they will take it and that you should send a text message to them. They are scammers/data collectors, not interested in buying, and fb has been cracking down on them.

Anne, did you click the blue bar to see the community standards? I've been in "FB Jail" a couple of times (they are so clueless and suspicious) and I could see what standards I broke.

This is my cover photo.

My profile picture (little circle) is my cat.

I also have some things posted that are public, that I don't mind anyone seeing. I have everything else blocked, even friends.

ETA: I use marketplace to sell from time to time and I got a response on one that was totally blank. No cover photo. No profile photo. Nothing anywhere. I didn't report, maybe I should, but I just ignored it.

Just know that FB uses AI/algorithms to do a lot of the policing - and they often make mistakes.

I would just try again - and check the community standards for registration requirements.

I made a new account with my full name. I put a picture of my dog in the little circle and a picture of monastery in the big box. For privacy, I choose not to be visible on search engines and said that all my stuff will be available to friends. I don't have any friends though. I'll be sure to get one of those! Thanks for all the helpful advice.

Most people join Facebook with the intention of having Facebook "friends", posting content and sharing the posts of others, as well as joining groups and following pages they like. I don't know what you did "wrong", but I'm guessing the administrators of the groups you asked to join reported you as a spammer. I think Instagram might be a better fit for you. On Instagram you don't have to befriend anyone or share posts, and you can follow whoever interests you.

Go ahead and post some public posts related to what you like. Gardening, cooking, pets, etc. Nothing copied, just a photo of a meal, or flowers or, such.

If your account is marked private as other have mentioned above it is unlikely you will be accepted by many groups. Not certain if other groups can even see your account. I belong to at least two private groups that are only visible to members.

Suggestions

Easy way to find if your account is disabled is to attempt to make a comment on it. Like other sites there will be to the far right of your comment after you hit enter three little dots. If you click on them they will allow you to edit, delete, or change the audience from private to public. If you want others on a group to see your post's in this trial period you need to change your settings to public. Since one of my peony groups is multi-language I keep the translation on. Some things like translation you need to scroll down to see. Some sites like my Swedish one it does not work and I have to click on the word "translation" then "translate all comments". Your wording may be slightly different.

Set it to "friends only" then do not accept any friend requests until you feel comfortable.

Start slow by making comments and/or liking other peoples comments or posts.

Since you are looking for Italian cooking you may find YouTube more comfortable just for seeing what is being prepared and reading the comments. Although I joined years ago I never setup the feature where I can comment so if you want to comment that would be an additional step.

I know if you try to join too many groups in a day, they'll stop you because they think you're a bot. My account is very private, I rarely if ever post public posts. Only a couple people from this site are on my "friends" list on Facebook. I don't accept many friend requests anymore unless I know you personally. You also have to be SO careful when posting in groups that you do not say anything that can be misconstrued as violence. I made a joke about burning down a house because a spider was in it. I got put in jail. Then made a post saying, "I threatened to break my kids legs if they ran off on me. I never broke their legs"... yeah... FB jail again. FB has no sense of humour. ;) BUT: you will know if you broke their guidelines because it'll show up right away when they do that.

I do admin my own FB group on iPhone photography if anyone has FB and an iPhone and would love to share photos:
