    It depends on the group. Some are still fairly active. This group

    This group, rec.arts.comics.strips, isn't extremely active, but
    considering that substantially all the traffic in it deals with comic
    strips rather than consisting of spam, it's doing reasonably well.

    Lots of them, but it depends what you're interested in. You would have
    to go through the newsserver list yourself looking newsgroups you would
    like and see if they are active or not over a week or two.

    That's surprising. I haven't seen that on my news server.

    So much of that crossposting was going on that I pretty much left, after
    having been a regular here for many years. I just checked back in today after
    a long absence and don’t see so much of it. Is it still a big problem?

    Most of the cross-posting relates to comics I think,
    lately XKCD & Pearls Before Swine..

    I didn't say (or mean) that it was a problem - I've contributed to
    drifted threads myself. I did want to point out that "substantially all
    the traffic in [racs] deals with comic strips" isn't an accurate
    reflection of recent traffic.
