Welcome to usenet!
yes, many nodes including eternal september carry only text newsgroups,
search for the big-8 groups, you should be able to read/post to most of
them.

Happy Hacking

Welcome, I mentioned this in the test group, please
review this document on formatting USENET Posts.

https://www.slack.net/~ant/usenet-posts.html#formatting

and another site with more information on how
to use USENET:

Thanks

I'm replying to this via Eternal September, so if you get this, we're
communicating.

Just in case it's not clear to ghodawalaaman, do note that, while there
can be and are (as is the case with Eternal-September) server-specific
hierarchies and other non-USENET groups, USENET "proper" in general is
federated across servers, and posts to these groups will find their way
across different servers.

(That's a great thing in how USENET works and also something at which
USENET appears to be much better than at least Mastodon, especially how
groups behave vs. "hashtags".)

There are exceptions and issues and it's good to be aware of them, just
pointing out that messages propagating across servers is what one would
expect here.

(One of the exceptions has already been mentioned: the use "binary"
groups have gotten has led to servers that only provide access to the
so-called text groups; another exception is if a server does not carry a
group (for example, it is new and some server did not create it
locally).)

Welcome to USENET, the interface-agnostic, distributed, decentralized
text-based discussion system! Where a client could use Comic Sans and
animated Wordart to render posts, but where you can also hook up a
terminal and use that too!

(Should I mention Gmane and Gwene too? If you're new to network news,
that might be something interesting to learn about: point your
newsreader to news.gmane.io and see mailing lists and RSS feeds.)
