You all troll Facebook. From the minute you wake up to the second you close your eyes, Facebook is always in front of you. #ThankyouMarkZuckerburg
So if you’re so invested in a community, how about actually making it useful for yourself? Here are some of the best groups on Facebook that you can all be a part of if you’re into any of these things. Let us know of more groups that you know are alive and active, who knows they might even make it on our short list if they’re good enough.
Foodies ‘R Us
If you’re a food lover and not already part of this group, what have you been doing? Foodies ‘R Us is quite possibly the most active Facebook group in Pakistan. In fact, it’s more than a group, Foodies ‘R Us is a community where there are food mobs and the conversations range from restaurant reviews to dining recommendations from passionate foodies. Oh and if you’re a culinary master who’s a 2 year old, you win prizes on this group too đ

Pet Talk
For all of you pet lovers, this is where it’s at. Pet Talk is a highly active Facebook group where you can find information about the best vets in town, raise awareness around animal cruelty, find someone to adopt your pet, ask questions about your pet that Google can’t answer or simply show off how cute and adorable your pet is.
Fun fact: Mr. Jinnah was very fond of his pets.

Pakistan Art Forum
For the most part, closed groups are the most active ones. Pakistan Art Forum, however, is an open group but that doesn’t take away from how active its members are. Members often post stunning pieces of original art that any art enthusiast would appreciate. Original art is something that we should all support because of how important it is for the preservation and advancement of our culture.

Pakistani Freelancers
Pakistan ranks among the highest freelance earning community, so it makes sense as to why this group is so active. For the most part, the group serves an active forum where you can post jobs, getting information regarding freelancing or feedback regarding your work. You get the idea.
