VKontakte groups have become an integral part of the lives of many users of the social network. Every day, millions of people scroll through their news feed, like and repost. Sometimes the information contained in records affects us more than the people around us. It shapes our needs and opinions, our style of communication and behavior in society, and sometimes even influences our worldview.

Everyone wants to see only high-quality and interesting content on their feed. We have tried to compile for you a list of the most popular and interesting VKontakte communities.

Application for searching VK groups

Frankly speaking, I don’t know how to correctly characterize the next application - it’s a service or a website, but allsocial.ru not only performs the task of searching for communities, but also has additional tools.

I note that the service is also not without its shortcomings. Its main drawback is that it shows a limited number of VKontakte communities upon request. And only those groups that contain “key” in the name are included in the sample.

However, I would not recommend it if I did not see a number of advantages.

When you are looking for public pages with few subscribers, I advise you to pay attention to the filter called Audience on this service. By pulling the lever to the left, you can set the upper limit on the number of subscribers.

Further, below there is an opportunity to select an analytics period. And the type of community: sorting can be by publics or groups. Let me remind you that these are different types of communities within VKontakte.

What else do I like about the site allsocial.ru? It displays not only the number of subscribers in each group, but also coverage, visitors and the percentage of audience growth for a given period. Provided, of course, that community statistics are available to everyone, and not just admins.

Please note that there are two additional tabs here.

In the Changes , you can find out what changes have happened to the community you are interested in. Among the available ones: change the name, ban, obtain verification, change the avatar, page addresses. By the way, this section will also help expand your sample.

And in the Administrators , by his first and last name you can find the communities where he holds this position.

If you click on the number in the Community column, a list of groups belonging to this administrator will open.

The site works not only with VK, but by analogy with Telegram and TikTok.

Difference 2. People join a group, but subscribe to a public page.

Therefore, in the group there are participants, and in the public there are subscribers.

The difference seems to be small, but there is a lot of confusion about it.

The group may also have subscribers. These are the people who subscribed to the group's mailing list. At the same time, group subscribers may or may not be members of the group at the same time.

Are you confused yet? It’s even more difficult in public. Public subscribers can be simultaneously subscribers to the public newsletter. Or they can only subscribe to the public page without subscribing to the newsletter. Or subscribe to the newsletter without subscribing to the public page.

In any case, we have subscribers, we just need to understand what exactly people subscribed to.

Conclusion 2. There are participants in the group, subscribers in the public.

There are always subscribers in the mailing list. Subscribers to the mailing list may or may not join the group, subscribe or not subscribe to the public.

Public subscribers can be subscribed or not subscribed to its mailing list.

Through the advanced search of the social network VKontakte

If you need to find a group by topic or with a specific interest, you should first use the advanced search on VK.

Enter a key phrase in the Search for communities line, which should reflect the topic of interest to you.

On the right is a block with Search Options. By default, groups in VKontakte search results are arranged by relevance. What does it mean? This means that the first positions in the list will be occupied by communities with a name that contains the key phrase.

Relevance is the first type of sorting. But I also recommend using the By the number of participants condition.

In this case, not only groups with a title from a key phrase will appear at the top of the list, but also communities where this “key” is contained in the group description.

If there are a lot of public pages, you will get tired of scrolling through them. Sorting promotes diversity in the sample. In addition, the condition By number of participants helps to find the largest publics on the topic with the requested interest.

The community search filter contains two additional conditions:

  • ability to specify the type of community (community or event),
  • select country and city.

The search function for VK communities is available not only on a computer, but also on a phone with an Android and iPhone operating system via the link https://m.vk.com/groups. The main condition is that the VKontakte application is installed. But the functionality on mobile does not support a search filter, like on a computer.

The downside to advanced search on desktop is that there are no analytics other than the number of subscribers.

Therefore, I recommend looking at the coverage and number of visitors using another site.

Difference 6. Different approach to promotion

You can invite friends to the group. It would seem: cool! But this opportunity is rarely used.

You can invite friends to a group on VK

Reason 1 – it’s not a fact that your friends will be happy if you invite them to your group.

Reason 2 – in the settings of many VK users, invitations to groups are prohibited.

There is no “invite friends” function on the public page. Instead, there is the option to “Tell Friends,” then a post is published with a link to a public page.

Conclusion 6. At the initial stage of promoting a group, you can use the “invite friends” function, but only your real friends who want to support your project will come to your group. Don't expect wide coverage.

Market platform

There has already been an article on my blog about how the VKontakte market platform works. In general, this is a platform for advertising. And I wouldn’t place high “hopes” on her.

Here, unfortunately, there is no way to find groups for a specific interest. But the market platform filter helps sort groups by topic. Moreover, each community has statistics in the search results. She is the one who will be useful.

Available metrics are number of subscribers and Post Reach/Daily Reach.

Don't forget that the main function of the marketplace platform is advertising. Therefore, opposite each group the cost of posting a post in the community is indicated. The market platform allows you to avoid contact with public administrators and place advertisements directly from the social network’s advertising account.

I'll tell you a little secret! There is an AdSpoiler extension (for Google Chrome) with which you can find any group on the market platform. In the extension, just enter a link to it, and the group will appear in the market platform with the opportunity to buy advertising.

Difference 1. Publicity

The public is always open to VK users. Public is a public page.

But a group can be open, closed and private.

Let's look at the differences:

  • An open group is visible to any VKontakte user. If a person likes the content and is interested in the topic of the group, he can become a member. An open group is displayed in VKontakte search.
  • Participants come to a closed group only by application if the administrators have approved the application. A closed group is displayed in the VKontakte search, but its posts are not visible to those people who are not members of the group.
  • Access to a private group is only possible by invitation from the administrator. A private group is not displayed in the VK search and is not shown via a direct link to this group if the user is not a member of the group.
Conclusion 1. If you want to create a community for a narrow circle of people, your choice is the VKontakte group. The public is always open and accessible to everyone.

Parsers VKontakte

In my opinion, the best option for searching VKontakte groups is parsers. A review of parsers has already been published on my blog. Thanks to parser tools, you can easily find communities based on specified parameters. And this is not only the title of the public.

For example, barkov.net allows you to search for communities using the following conditions:

  • city ​​or country
  • name, description and status,
  • topics,
  • number of subscribers, etc.

If you work with advertising on VKontakte, you cannot do without a parser. Their instruments are often similar. You will need to choose the service that satisfies all your needs.
