After three weeks and 1,000 new users on Jomsocial I can definitely say that groups seem to be the bane of my existence as a site admin 
The way groups work are a little illogical to me and the overwhelming majority of my users (as per a discussion I opened on this topic yesterday).
To me a "public group" should NOT be seen in the main feed unless you JOIN the group, that being public allows you to browse the group independently and even post to it but it won't show on your feed unless you join it. A "private group" is the same thing except you cannot access it at all unless you join.
I've been forced to make EVERY group private so they don't populate in the main feed, which then leads to the headache of having to approve every person wanting to join.
I would like to see configuration options for how this is handled. I think some good options would be a configuration option on if public groups should show on the main feed if you are not a member.
I would also love to see discussions either have an option or be changed so that EVERY SINGLE POST on a discussion doesn't appear in the main feed as a separate post. Have it appear just like everything else, one post with a series of comments. At this point I'm seriously considering turning off discussions entirely because it clogs the feed so badly.
I would also like to see administrative overrides for EVERY group setting so that you can decide if the group owner is allowed to change a setting - i.e., make it private. I've had to write SQL scripts and CRON jobs to force groups to have certain configuration settings that I don't want group owners to change.
Also a configuration for either moderating group deletes or disallowing it except administratively would be a great addition, I just had someone delete their group and left a lot of people hanging.
Thank you
