Ok I found out there are other teams. I’d like to join another so I’m not sure.
Also, are members allowed to have or start being pen pals as in writing each other by regular mail? Those are my two queries aka questions. Tyvm

Members warmly welcomed questions about joining multiple teams and connecting outside the platform, with the consensus being that both are absolutely allowed as long as all parties agree. Several members shared practical tips for connecting privately, including posting contact information directly on another member's page (visible only to them), using Facebook Messenger, or exchanging emails and letters, with one member sharing how she now considers a fellow member her sister after building a friendship through regular messages. A recurring theme was the importance of respecting boundaries and remembering that not everyone will want private contact, but the community strongly encouraged reaching out and building meaningful connections.

If the other members want to talk to you then it is okay. Keep in mind not everyone wants to

You can be on more then one team. I don't think there is any restriction on conting someone outside of this website. As long as both people agree.

You can be on more than one team, and have pen pals as far as I know or even email each other if you don't want to use snail mail.

Here’s the official answer:
To contact another member privately, you can post your email address or phone number directly onto their page and it will be visible to only you and that person. You may then communicate offline, privately.
How about that? Cool 😎 huh? It’s freakin Awesome I tell ya! YAY!
Hugs 🤗
