I'm a member in many forums (part of them are professional groups with doctors). For example, when I want to post on Facebook I don't know what is the polite way to address a lot of people, although I know how to address one person (Dear Sir or Dear Miss). What would be an appropriate way to start my post? Hey there? Hello? Dear Sirs?
I'm not English native speaker and I'd like to get the knowledge about that. Thank you.

Anything friendly, such as
will generally be fine.
If you wrote "hey there", it may be seen by a few people as a little unusual, but since most people are aware of the international nature of such groups, it's unlikely that such would create a negative impression in many people's minds.
