This is my first post to this newsgroup, so:

Hello, fellow geminauts!

Do you use a paid Usenet account, a free account on a site like Eternal
September, or an open service such as Aioe? What newsgroup reader do you
use?

The Usenet thing is completely new to me. I've never used it before. I was

on news.aioe.org, but I was banned for 24 hours, because my connection

time exceeded 86400 seconds?! I'm not sure what happened, but I surely

wasn't on that server for 24 hours. Maybe it was my neomutt setup. Don't

know.

So now I'm on eternal-september.org with neomutt as my nntp client,

because I also use it as my email client.

It was a bit difficult to set up, but after getting the bits and pieces

together, it works. I thought a mailing list would be better, but after

using usenet for a day, I really like newsgroups more. No need to sort

the mail into folders and things like that. Simply subscribe to a=20

newsgroup and you are ready.

If new or prospective Gemini users wanted to join the group, how would you
recommend they do it?

Due to my lack of experience with Usenet, I really can't give a final

recommendation. But I would say Thunderbird is a good solution for new

users, because it's already widely used as an email client.

As a server I would recommend AIOE or eternal-september.org. You COULD

buy access to commercial newsservers, but as a new user who just wants

to read comp.infosystems.gemini to begin with, this isn't neccessary I

think.

Rob S
