  • Synchronet for Usenet newsgroups

    From Marco Moock@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 4 17:02:22 2025
    Hello!

    Are here some people who run Synchronet for Usenet web access?

    I've read that it supports newsgroups/NNTP, but I haven't tested it.
    Does it scale well for an entire hierarchy?

    I am thinking about running a Usenet only instance.

    kind regards
