Not sure if this was a really hard question or a really obvious answer, still not sure!? I'm new here and have a multi-level group to add, where "public" and "parent group" privacies are important.? If there's a reference for this, let me know.? Thanks.

Derek,

What does this option mean "Group not listed in parent group, publicly
viewable messages."

It means that the subgroup won't be shown in the Subgroups page of the parent (main) group. And that the Messages page of the subgroup is viewable by anyone (public) member or not of either group.

Is this for one-way email subgroups?

No. Having the subgroup not listed in the main group won't prevent main group members from learning about it (especially not with public Messages), or accessing it's home page.

On the whole it seems like a somewhat useless combination, but maybe someone has a use case for it.

Generally "public" means anyone anyone (and any search engine) on the web, and "private" means members-only. In a subgroup you have the additional option of having the Messages visible to parent group members as well as members of the subgroup but not the public.

Thanks. ?That makes sense. ?But: if a subscriber to a subgroup that is invisible in the parent group posts a message, where does the public see it? ?I haven’t explored the publicly-viewable messages area yet, but I’ll check there next.

or


Where "example" and "subgroup" are just placeholders for the actual subdomain and subgroup names.

Now, how the public might discover those web addresses is another question. One answer is that the content of the subgroup Home page description, or of a message in the subgroup, might be found in a web search engine (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc.). Another answer might be that someone posted one or the other, or a link to one of the messages, either in the primary group or in a public website or ...
