You can also open My groups and then the group itself.

What are Recommended matches?

How do I see only the events I bookmarked?

What does Socialize this event do?

It helps you spread the word and asks whether you would like to be listed as helping on the event itself.

How do I share an event with a friend?

Press Socialize on the event, then Copy link, Share or QR.

What do Hosted by and Socialized by mean?

I host an event somebody else posted. How do I take it over?
