My opinion:
Groups are neglected because no updates about new members are shown in the activity feed.
The same goes for member profiles. Member comments are not shown. And all activity disappears into invisibility. Only new friends are noticed.
I can't think of anything else at the moment but there are more unpleasant things.
As I run two networks, I have decided: Before I give up Ning 2.0, I would always part with Ning 3.0.
Thanks for reading and any improvements,

Yes, I'm also struggling with this problem. The activity feed is pretty bad right now. It doesn't show near the activity it should and it sometimes makes my site look really inactive when in fact it's not. Unforunately I already asked this question a few months ago with no replies.
Thanks for your input...
It is annoying and tedious not to see when a member joins a group. Or if there is a new group! Just saying!
One way to get your activites in groups to show up in your feed is to combine the feeds from groups either into an OPML file (OPML File Maker) and then use RSS2JSON to display feeds. Or there is RSS-Bridge which allows you to combine multiple feeds into one feed.

I'm having some health problems at the moment, which is why I'm only replying now. And I have to admit that I'm not very tech-savvy. When I'm feeling better, I'll try your instructions.
Many thanks for all you do...
