# NNTP Our friends over at [tilde.club](https://tilde.club) run an NNTP service that's open to the public. There are a few options for browsing from [tilde.institute](https://tilde.institute). ``` news.tilde.club:119 ``` ## lynx If you just want to take a look, `lynx` can connect to an `NNTP` service: ``` lynx news://news.tilde.club ``` ## tin `/etc/nntpserver` has been populated with `news.tilde.club`, so connecting with tin only requires this command: ``` tin -r ``` `-r` for remote newsgroups. Once connected, hit `s` to subscribe, then `*` to subscribe to all newsgroups. To start a new thread, pick a group, then hit `w` for "write" and compose your message. To respond to a message in a thread, hit `f` for "follow-up". There are a few other options for interaction with a post or thread, such as `r` for a direct email reply to the post author. ## alpine Start `alpine`, then navigate to `Setup`, and finally `Config`. Set the following options: * NNTP Server: `news.tilde.club` * SMTP Server: `localhost:25` ## Other Clients If you have another preferred client, feel free to ask us to install it. Either mail `admins@tilde.institute` or jump into the IRC channel `#institute`. ## See Also [https://tilde.club/wiki/usenet-news.html](https://tilde.club/wiki/usenet-news.html) [back](/)
