Good FB groups and Honesty

1ST QUESTION:

Hey guys! Been researching good FB groups to join near me. Looking for the "local" groups.

I know we are searching for where locals are at, without diving into a "business group" or "marketing" or "contractors" group.

Are these types of local groups good options? These were less clear to me.

-"buy, sell, trade/ marketplace"

-" farming" / "gardening"

-"Who's hiring?" / "Job postings" / "Help wanted".

-"local politics"

-"local classifieds"

-"events happening in [city]".

-"rant and rave" groups

-"news/crime" groups

2ND QUESTION:

When joining groups, a lot of them require "No promotion" and "no advertising" or you'll be kicked out. And I feel like a lot of my posts are gonna be a "soft" version of that: "Hey I'm looking to help a local business get customers, who do you know?". I feel like I am promoting myself or advertising my services, sort of. I just wanna be honest. Things dont go well when I start business relationships dishonestly (ask me how I know! haha). Am I off here? I'd love the input.

3RD QUESTION:

After you post a Curiosity or Recommendation post in a FB group, and they start tagging people, is it standard process to just DM whatever business is tagged?

Thank you!
