The Yahoo Groups fandom rescue project is still ongoing, and we do still need help, should anyone want to venture on over to the Discord and volunteer (you'll find the current Discord invite at the top): https://yahoo-geddon.tumblr.com/

For anyone who has a Yahoo ID, you should request their data here (do it as soon as possible - deadline is Jan. 31 but I wouldn't push it in case there's an issue with yours): http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/getmydata You can donate part or all of the data you get to the fandom rescue project or to the Internet Archive.

And this is a tutorial I wrote (complete with screenshots, suitable for Windows, Mac, and Linux) for importing the mbox files that come in that data into a program to read them: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dXeXfY5Huri_8NTUn4hl-iUZq9MMRL1Qbo7bp5YZpmE/edit
