Is there a "usenet for dummies" guide somewhere, for 90s kids?
Asking for a friend.
It's quite easy, but you'll need an account and a client.
- Create an account on eternal-september.org
- Change and note your password.
- Follow the tutorial of your elected client. I recommend !thunderbird@lemmy.world, you can learn how to add a Usenet account in Thunderbird here.
Ask me if you have a question!

Certainly. You should ask your favorite search engine.
It's not that easy, because the vast majority of articles are for using Usenet to download binaries. It's not what the article was talking about.
Simply add a '-binaries' ( just tested with Google)
And first result : https://www.privacyaffairs.com/usenet-guide/
And yet… it's a tutorial about how to download with Usenet.
Sorry I failed you. I just read up the setup parts :/. It was so simpler when I used outlook abd my Internet provider offered access to newsgroups.
Well it was back to 56k. I don't think I regret those, now I have fiber.
