Been meaning to learn this for a while - thanks for setting this up.
I agree, there does appear to be a few issues atm. Hoping they'll get sorted soon.
Frost is the one I use (on F-droid). I like the interface.
Edit: forgot to add it's a wrapper.
I'm using nzbgeek to find stuff. Then put the links it returns into eweka - a usenet provider. I'm new to this, so I'm just dipping my toe in to make sure it works. Currently it does but I'm sure there are better deals if you look around.
I share your pain buddy !
I have a newsgroup subscription, but a lot of the posts are obfuscated (confused titles that don't make sense) so you can't read the post headers like you can in (say) lemmy or reddit (spit! ) . So I also subscribe to a nzb provider (makes sense of the obfuscated) .
In terms of money it's not too much - like Β£20/year.
The nzb provider searches the usenet then your newsgroup host downloads what you want.
I'm probably not very clear, and this has been a learning curve for me, but if I can help I will, just ask. It's good fun - especially when it works!
Edit: too many 'buts'
On the 2nd para - IRCHighway, you mentioned a link to set it up. I don't see one - maybe me but can you either: send the link so I see it or dm if you have time? It sounds like something I'd like to follow up on.
It should take you progressively back up the tree of comments - it does this on my version of Sync. If a solution hasn't already been posted, you could raise a question here. Currently (with Sync) I don't think the option is available - I start new posts using Connect for Lemmy. Good luck.
Nicely put. Thanks for clearing that up.
I'm guessing that would be tagging people then rather than topics of interest? Probably not missing much if that's the case.
