Is there any way to allow users to opt into groups in XF 2

[BruceW]

In XF 1.5 we used the Joinable User Groups add-on to allow users to join specific user groups for events, areas of the country and a group for users willing to help others with troubleshooting. This was a widely used feature. I see that no suitable plugin allows for users to opt into groups.

Can anyone suggest a way to allow users to choose groups to join?

Will this work on XF2?

The exact screenshots would be different, but the concept would be the same.
