Comparison

Yahoo Groups

An important part of the early social web

Yahoo Groups have shut down. The exact way to interpret this is to understand that Verizon has essentially transformed the Yahoo Groups into email lists. This means Yahoo Groups don’t support the public groups and the existing ones have been converted to private where all the communication are driven by emails. That said, users are still able to search these private groups and join by invitation from the admins who would have limited management rights.

All the data available on these groups got deleted before the end of 2020. Read on to learn about the features that got deleted, the tool you can use to export data, and how Tribe is a much powerful alternative to Yahoo Group for creating communities.

Features and data
getting deleted from Yahoo Groups

Yahoo Groups are arguably one of the largest discussion forums that started back in 2001. They have been able to host a wide range of niche interest groups (similar to Reddit) — from paranormal sightings to Java programming. All these groups contain valuable user-generated content and soon this data will be lost.

The functionality to upload content and the features associated with communication were stopped from the 28th of October 2020. Given below are the complete list features and assets that got phased out.
