What error do you get? If it's:

> Your email address is not linked to a Yahoo ID. To join this group, you need to link your email address to a Yahoo account.

Then you need to go into "Account security" and link an email address with the account. I don't know why the instructions don't tell you this.

Sorry, got sidetracked, wanted to edit in the issue link. It's this issue: https://github.com/davidferguson/yahoogroups-joiner/issues/1...

Thanks for the suggestion though, I saw that thread about linking a fallback email address as well but that seems to be a different thing.
