[Solved thanks to @tal. See instructions below.]
I’d like to subscribe and occasionally post to some usenet newsgroup like sci.physics or sci.physics.research. It’s difficult! I tried to simply enter “sci.physics” in Thunderbird’s Newsgroup reader, but apparently it doesn’t work simply like that… Even subscribing to news.eternal-september.org didn’t help – I think my understanding of providers and groups is very confused.
Could anyone kindly help?
Thank you for the heads-up, it is quite cheap indeed. I noticed that some of the newsgroups unfortunately have much spam, so I’ll see if I’m really interested in subscribing. But some are moderated, luckily.
yes lots of spam but hopefully if more people use them discussion will come back and spam will stop.
