So there was this post recently about the new Public Groups Bot, but there were still no instances. OTOH, the SimpleBot by @adbenitez has such a list 
I thought, let’s change that.
So I set up the (probably) first instance of the public groups bot. You can find it at https://publicgroups.0x90.space/. It’s open, just login with Delta Chat and join the first group I opened, or open new ones!
If you also run a public groups instance, just post a comment below 
you should be logged in to the website now, there you can see the groups.
Though I currently get a 504 Gateway Time-out after loging in, so its probably currently broken 
.
Ping @missytake
which one? this? https://publicgroups.0x90.space/
it only always leads me to the qr-code-login-thing, which by pressing on manual i get redirected to delta chat app and asked to join a new group, with a new bot instance, which will promptly leave me alone again! 
it does open another group, but it’s even more empty.
couldn’t get to the 504 even…
ps: i don’t own a desktop (by choice). just 2 mobiles.
it takes a while and its broken currently let’s wait for @missytake to fix it, I already informed them.
still broken? i suppose.
What is wrong? It is Android (cant open link see below warning message)

Now it is works, with updated DC from F-Droid.
ah as expected, in older versions it was not supported
Should it work?
I scan QR on https://publicgroups.0x90.space with DC Electron desktop 1.58.2
Now I have new chat with “LoginBot group (5b84)”
There is single post: “public-groups a systemli.org invited you to join this group. Waiting for the device of public-groups a systemli.org to reply…”
On the https://publicgroups.0x90.space there is no changes pn webpage; in browser dev console it constantly repeats “Got response with text: Not yet…”
I just tried it, for me it works 
Yes, I made fresh attempt, and got groups list. Thanks
BTW QR on your avatar is FUBAR, can’t read it.
Update: page says 'There are currently 54 public groups. ', and there is ‘Available’ list containing 17 titles. There are green arrows pointing on groupe titles, I clicked couple of them. Got ‘You joined group …’ every time, but no changes in my DC app.
Having the same issue here. Maybe there is some kind of delay ?.
I asked to join a few groups, got the green “You joined XYZ” message, but no group appeared on my device.
I am using the latest version of DC and my account is on my own Classic E-Mail server. Maybe this has a role in the issue.
