This sounds like a great UI for reddit and I'm surely going to try it out! I'm not very familiar with NNTP though, so I have a couple of questions.

1. Is mapping subreddits to the global namespaces a good idea? If I were to read NNTP news from multiple sources, wouldn't it be better to have a reddit.* hierarchy alongside the alt.* etc hierarchies? (I assume there's a way to use multiple NNTP servers at once; maybe by hosting my own NNTP server that pulls from multiple servers.)

2. Are slrn and tin the state of the art in TUI clients? Surely someone has a recent promising hobby client?

Use an alias for that:

alias slrnreddit='NNTPSERVER="news://localhost:8119" slrn -f ~/.jnewsrc-reddit -i ~/.slrnrc-reddit'

You can even use the same .jnewsrc for multiple NNTP servers, so just running `NNTPSERVER=some.url slrn` works for me. But I'm hoping for a way to use multiple servers without re-launching the client.

EDIT: the subscribed groups need to exist on all the servers, though. Otherwise slrn drops missing ones.

Yeah, but I don't like mixing setups.
