I’m offering now one more invite to DS. First person who responds next will receive it. I send the invites via email so if you need to set up a burner account I will give you time to do so. I check this alt account every other day, so if there is a delay that is why. DS would like me to pay it forward to the community; please play by the rules. More invites will be on the way next month.

Thanks, dev_null

    I’m not sure what I would use it for, but I’d be curious to try it, would you have any guides to get started as a beginner?

    Alright I’ve downloaded a pair of Usenet reader clients and I think I’m ready to go, if you still have an invite

      It’s blocked by Lemmy.World but here is a direct link. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/usenet There are guides there on setting up a Newsgroup Access account, how to configure software, what sites to get the downloads from, and more. I’d really recommend getting familiar with the basics first to see if it for you. If and when you decide to get everything set up message me back and I still can give you an invite.

        I think I’ve gotten everything set up, I’m at the “log in to news group” part, and that’s where your invite starts, correct?

          No, my invite is for a NZB tracker. You have to have your newgroup provider (EWEKA for example; like $5 a month) configured with *arr software and SABnzbd.
