I noticed that subgroups were not automatically being shown when looking at the /groups page. I believe the view has a filter for "OG subgroups: has parent" no.

My original approach was to have one parent group so that subgroups could inherit permissions, but with all content living in the subgroups. I'm not sure this approach works well in Commons.

For now, I've promoted each subgroup, so that they are now groups. I'm wondering if subgroup functionality needs more attention, of if I'm just not understanding how best to use them.

I believe that you can not satisfy every use case - for example this approach (subgroups not automatically @ /groups page) is perfectly fine with my needs.

Everything really depends what are you trying to achieve - if you will have only one group at your website, and all other groups will be actually subgroups - then, IMHO, you really don't need that (meta / super) group - your site is already "group". ;)
