There is a #Usenet Fediverse/Lemmy group to which you can inform 272 subscribers of #NNTP related stuff:
usenet_lemmy.ml (replace the underscore with 'at' sign.).
Just put a mention address for the group and your subject as the first line then all the subscribers will see it. Your first line will show up as the subject in the group, so be sure to put the mention addresses below your toot message, not above it. Here is the link to the Lemmy Usenet group where you can get the mention address:
https://lemmy.ml/c/usenet
I didn't put the address in here because I don't want this post going to the group.

In response to this post@octade @vga256 thank you for the information. i prefer usenet myself, it's what i grew up on. fediverse is pretty decent but i find better conversations in bbs/usenet format in general. especially with the topic is focused vs a tarpit on something like reddit which imo is centralized garbage
Reddit went from egotistical admin space to utterly revolting with the advertisements.

I am planning to eventually post in alt.rhubarb again when I release my next hobby projects. I'm not too impressed with some of the busy newsgroups because of trolls and nutters.
Other groups I watch but rarely post to:
rocksolid.nodes.help
sci.crypt
comp.os.plan9 (moderated by plan9 devs)
alt.cyberpunk
alt.folklore.computers
alt.hackers
news.admin.peering
hispagatos.talk
alt.cypherpunks
alt.privacy.anon-server
I follow some others and usually I don't find myself much interested in the discussions.
Modern Usenet is different than its heyday. Messages are generally much more infrequent. It seems more of a bulletin board than a discussion forum these days.
