# 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`.
