In reply to Benjamin Boman. I used to learn a lot from LinkedIn groups. Not so much anymore. Sigh. Sandy

Hi Sandra,

Great investigation you did here! I wrote a similar piece for 2022, and unfortunately, as you may have suspected, they are quite dead for the reason Wayne mentioned.

Sadly the groups are full of spam.

I tried contacting a bunch of group managers too for comment but they seemed fairly inactive (or missed it) themselves.

Please try the search again, using Google or Bing — you’ll find my article for sure now. My solution doesn’t fix group Admin abandonment, but it does tell you just how “good” or “bad” your Group happens to be in terms of member engagement.

Gregory, I didn’t find anything when I followed your instructions. The problem with the groups I’m in is that each group’s owner seems to have abandoned the group, so they’re overwhelmed with useless, unrelated promotional posts. Does your solution address that?

Sandra, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. I know I’m late to the game, but my company has developed an “audit” of sorts, for measuring the health of any LinkedIn Group. You can then benchmark against any cohort of groups. Since I maybe shouldn’t leave a URL here, just search for “Community Health Score” AND “LinkedIn Groups” — you’ll find an article about it. I am hopeful that we can collectively heal at least some of the “almost pretty good” LinkedIn Groups without Microsoft pulling the plug on them.

In reply to Art G.

How disappointing, Art. It sounds like LI didn’t come through with the support promised a year ago. I loved the LI groups I belonged to when the system worked — what a shame that LI decided to destroy them.
