Unfortunately, or fortunately, not a whole lot of places discuss Usenet to not draw too much attention to it. I know it’s reddit, but /r/usenet is a really good resource both for providers and indexers as well as for setting things up for personal use. Some guides exist on YouTube too.
If you’re looking for media, look into what an Arr stack is and how to set that up for a media server you’re running, for example. Although not exactly necessary, that’s what many people use and set up.
Have you had a look at the wiki? It’s quite comprehensive and should set you up nicely with everything you need to know. Other than that, do check out YouTube tutorials. For example:
Feel free to DM me too if you need to know something. I’m still only starting out with Usenet myself, but I do know some stuff and know where/whom to ask.
It has been my experience that when someone understands something, they are capable of explaining it to someone else. For example if you asked me how to make tea, I wouldn’t give you a youtube video and tell you I can’t explain. I’d tell you that you’ve got to get a cup, boiling water, tea leaves, one of those little metal balls with holes in. Do you know what I’m saying? I’m having a really hard time comprehending the tools utilized by typical usenet users because I do not understand how it works. When I ask for clarity I am pointed back to the same confusing materials. There has to be at least one person who knows what usenet is and can explain it to another person, without telling them to get the explanation elsewhere.
hey I know what you mean and I’ll reply to this in case someone comes along, as I’m interested too. I have the whole -arr stack with jellyfin configred but have been only using torrents (both public and private trackers)

I’ve been to r/usenet and it is incomprehensible. I now know I am supposed to download an app. I’m sorry.

Thanks, I will look at all that, however
