Alternatives for Google Groups users

[The Doctor]

This is only relevant for those people who read or post in that
newsgroup using Google Groups. Please ignore it, if you use another
service.
I post it again, so it shows up first when people read via GG after
Google depeerd.
Google will discontinue Usenet in Google Groups tomorrow.
Usenet is a distributed communication system consisting of many servers.
Google Groups is only one of them that closes down - other servers will
stay available, but people need to use another server to read and post
here.
Those behave similar to Google Groups, you can read there, but for
posting you need to register an account for free.

Another alternative is to use an NNTP server with a so called
newsreader.

For using it, you need a newsreader.

You then need to configure a newsgroup account, sometimes also
called NNTP.
For most servers, authentication must be enforced in the newsreader's
settings.

For questions about configuring those readers, feel free to ask in
the group news.software.readers.
