If you love cooking groups on Facebook, you might have to shell out some money in order to continue engaging in those communities.

Facebook is testing a new subscription feature that will allow group administrators to levy USD 4.99 to USD 29.99 a month for exclusive membership in certain groups, The Verge reported.

In its initial phase, parenting, cooking and home cleaning groups will first get the new feature. Facebook won't be getting any money out of the membership fee as of now.
