I also installed "newsd", a kind of private news-server, yesterday. Created a few hierarchies, among which a "gemini.bolla" one, dedicated to the bubble instance I'm running for Italian people.,
Everything it's new and shiny.. and empty, lol, but I'm having lots of fun.

I didn’t know it was that easy to make your own Usenet spaces… I’m tempted to check out Usenet more now owo

Easy, yes, but it looks like newsd alone is prone to abuse of different kinds. You can read more in the issues tracker.. I've asked a few questions.

I installed a newsreader and subscribed to a newsgroup years ago. All I saw were cigarette and viagra ads, no real discussions or community sadly. Is there somewhere else where that’s not the case?
