We're working on it. You'll need a news server to read news, and it's up;
|
|
|
|
|
it's `news.tilde.club`.

[http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Help/News/PineNews.html](tutorial) might help.

In Pine do 'S' for setup, 'C' for config, then
|
|
|
|
|
set 'NNTP Server (for news)' to news.tilde.club
|
|
|
|
|
Then go back to the main menu, and pick Folder List,
|
|
|
|
|
A for add, ^t for list

`M-x gnus` in [[emacs]] can read news, but you better know [[emacs]] first before you start.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[lynx]] reads news, a la `lynx news://news.tilde.club/tilde.general`. It can even post news, but you have to design your own headers.
