A Pinterest group board is a collaboration of Pinterest users. Boards are owned by one Pinner (Pinterest user), who has given permission to one or more other Pinners to add Pins to the same Group Board.

The Group Board has rules set by the owner of the Board to run it with other users. Once you joined a group, you can start pinning and also able to invite others to the Group board depending on the board rules.

You can join multiple Boards, but once you followed it, It does not mean you have participated on that Board. You must have to request to join. Once it gets approved, you can able to start pinning.
