How to list the Facebook groups available?
My groups page lists groups where I'm a member and the button to create a new group but no option to list other groups.
I can search for groups but I can find how to list them, by category, if possible.
Facebook – directory of groups on Facebook
facebookfacebook-groups

It looks like this is currently somewhat broken.
If you go to an existing group (Aleph-One Strong for the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis!), then click on the category in the information, it takes you to a link which appears to be a search link (Outlandish Statements from the above group), but it gives you the message "Please enter a query." If you then put in a search term, it searches among all groups.
However, if you add &q=
searchtermto the link, you get a search for your searchterm in your category. Taking the example from above, http://www.facebook.com/search.php?sfxp=1&c1=10&c2=141&type=groups&q=answer will get you a list of all groups in the category "Outlandish Statements".With the millions of groups, and small number of categories for groups, a list of all groups in a category would be too large to look through them.
