> No "good" NNTP clients

Thunderbird works on most platforms.

> Gmane was relatively popular, and it was great but went down for a long time

Some mailing lists are now archived using public inbox[1]. There are several ways to access it including via NNTP.

Didn't know Thunderbird did NNTP, thanks!

Can you get your own mailing lists on public-inbox, or would you have to self host? I'd love to self host git and a mailing list but setting up mailman/sympa/etc. seems to be too big a task. I was thinking setting up a wiki as a replacement for my small personal projects...
