So I know nato countries can't join Ukraine but what about its people? Like say a group of civilians from nearby countries go into Ukraine and join their forces. What would happen?

What do you mean by cannot join? Article 5 only requires all of NATO to defend member states, it says nothing about non-member states.

NATO as a whole is not joining the current conflict, or any other member-states, in the hope of a resolution that does not see half the world go to war.

I believe Ukraine has said they will accept any aid from whoever. I don't know how useful people are if they don't speak Ukrainian or Russian though.

There is pretty long lines of people trying to get into Ukraine to fight. We've seen some of them in Poland.

It's not unlike Americans signing up with British and French militaries during WW1.

Idk if this was meant to be tongue in cheek or not (probs not) but yeah this is true

in fact the UK foreign secretary says shes happy for us to do it.

In principle I agree but the realities of it is unless youre actually a trained fighter theres no point a dumb sack of shit civilian should be going there to be cannon fodder. Unless they can help with supplies/medicine etc

No I was being serious. There have been a few groups that have gone over from their own free will just to do... I don't know, shoot people or something. Language barrier is just the first step involved in this.

But, it was the answer to the question if other people are allowed to join up.
