+# NNTP
+
+Our friends over at [tilde.club](https://tilde.club) run an NNTP service that's
+open to the public. There are a few options for browsing from [tilde.institute](https://tilde.institute).
+
+```
+news.tilde.club:119
+```
+
+## lynx
+
+If you just want to take a look, `lynx` can connect to an `NNTP` service:
+
+```
+lynx news://news.tilde.club
+```
+
+## tin
+
+`/etc/nntpserver` has been populated with `news.tilde.club`, so connecting with tin
+only requires this command:
+
+```
+tin -r
+```
+
+`-r` for remote newsgroups. Once connected, hit `s` to subscribe, then `*` to subscribe
+to all newsgroups. To start a new thread, pick a group, then hit `w` for "write" and
+compose your message. To respond to a message in a thread, hit `f` for "follow-up". There
+are a few other options for interaction with a post or thread, such as `r` for a direct
+email reply to the post author.
+
+## alpine
+
+Start `alpine`, then navigate to `Setup`, and finally `Config`. Set the following options:
+
+* NNTP Server: `news.tilde.club`
+* SMTP Server: `localhost:25`
+
+## Other Clients
+
+If you have another preferred client, feel free to ask us to install it. Either mail
+`admins@tilde.institute` or jump into the IRC channel `#institute`.
