>>OP

Tilde Net News is now syncing between news.tildeverse.org,
tilde.team, tilde.black, yourtilde.com, and cosmic.voyage. Most
systems have private groups available only on their respective
systems. Any groups that start with tilde.* are shared amongst all
the systems. Post in one and we can see it from any system.

In addition to the alpine instructions above, you can also use
slrn (aliased as "news" on cosmic.voyage). It's a more dedicated
newsgroup reader that you may enjoy.

bumping this old thread!

I just posted this on iris.
But am not sure it's read as much as bbj.
So, crosspost!

cosmic news with tin

Hello! I have been exploring the world of usenet and netnews lately. And have
been browsing the cosmic.voyage news server.

I've been able to read and post just fine via Thunderbird. But don't really
love it as a client. So I've been trying to use tin!

I can read and post on campaignwiki.org just fine. And I can read
cosmic.voyage just fine, but I can't post. I think my tin config is the same
as my Thunderbird config. Except I'm not sure that tin is connecting to port
563. Or if it is, I'm not sure it's using the right certificate for tls.

Anyway. I'll keep messing with it.

Does anybody else use tin or netnews on cosmic?
