Subject: [power-pro] Groups.io alternative??       <was:  Warning: Yahoo Groups Is Winding Down and All Content Will Be Permanently Removed>

I have seen the mention today in a couple of my other groups of      groups.io      which has a basic, free option.  It might or might not be a viable alternative (?)
 
Its main page:  https://groups.io/

	-  "A modern platform for online communities. Powerful management tools. Mobile ready. Free and paid plans. No ads, no tracking."

	-  Free option includes 1G of storage

I'm hoping it will turn out that the free, basic plan is enough for the still active Yahoo groups.  But here is a page with the fee structure, which offers an additional 2 paid options:  https://groups.io/static/pricing

But one huge potential plus is the mention that's it's (allegedly) easy to migrate Yahoo or Google Groups over to it, and they include a button, each, with specific instructions for either platform:  https://groups.io/static/transfer


Not ever having started a Yahoo group myself I don't know what all is involved or if it would be a "right fit" type of solution, but maybe the information is of help.


Thank you and cheers.
