Don’t use a Facebook Group. Better yet, to show that the page is active, give the users control by letting their Fan posts show up on the front page. As a result, engagement goes up as the page appears very active. The page should appear active but it should also appear like you’re not neglecting your community.

The more active you are on StumbleUpon, the more opportunity there is for you to grow your network and expose your own content to more and more StumbleUpon users. When members repeatedly submit content from a single site or a small group of sites, it undermines StumbleUpon’s mission of discovering and sharing Web sites with others.

Normally, Groups exist to let people congregate around a common interest. And if it does still exist, a Facebook Page may make sense.)
