hi all,

i have joined recently the world of the usenets but it looks like everything is dominated by the english with little to nothing to other languages

I am looking for a usenet server with good content of media in non-english, preferrably german, spanish or french (i am from europe)

can anybody suggest something for an usenet noob? it is not important if the content is behind a pay wall, but if the server needs invitation it would be good if a good samaritan can spare one :)

thanks in advance

Hi all,

thanks for all the tips and recommendations you shared. I just opened my account on ninja and looks good for the german content. but not up to the expectations for the rest of the languages.

During my search i found that usenetHD.li is considered the best indexers for spanish/latino languages but no way to test it becuase an invitation is mandatory to get in. bad luck.

I will check all the options and i will report it back what i find.

in any case thanks for the help

Thanks for sharing the existence of a Spanish language indexer! I am having a hard time with Spanish content, specially when looking for quality, even for well known Spanish Directors. I often found newseros stuff in some of the indexers I mentioned but that was all, and I know better releases for the same stuff exists, just not inside the indexers I've searched (and I searched in sooo many!) or maybe not inside Usenet. Same for some Belgian content.

usenetHD.li has no API, am I right? If so, every search has to be done inside the site (forum). In the other hand, when leaving automation aside, the place could have a nice forum.

Maybe if you answer their invite tweet you could be lucky, somebody was answered in 2022. (Pidelo hablando castellano, claro). Else, they seem closed for a long long time.

If you manage to get in, let me know! Even if it has no API, I would love to have a source for Iberian and Latin-American content at Usenet, as until now this area was the weak spot of my searches. I wont tweet them because I don't use twitter. For now, lemmy became the last "social" place I still find myself logging in.
