# 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`.
