# Joining or Creating a Clan
If you're in a Telegram group that has already enabled Degen Arena in one of the ways described below, you can simply join that group's clan with the `/join` command.
You can also manage your clans by sending `/clans` to the bot, where you can create a new clan, switch between clans, or leave your current clan.
If Degen Arena has not yet been added to a group, you can add the bot to a group in one of three different ways.
First, go to the bot, click the three dots in the upper right corner, and click `Add to Group`. Choose the desired group, and you're good to go. Another way is by messaging @degenarenabot directly with the `/clan` command as described above, clicking `Create a new Clan`, choosing a Telegram group that you're part of, and adding the bot to the group. The last way is by going to a group, and typing the command `/start@degenarenabot`.
And that's it. Now, you'll see what all your fellow group members are up to, and vice-versa. Try not to get rekt.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.degenarena.app/joining-or-creating-a-clan.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
