Hi,

I decided to try tin again, but I'm having a lot of issues. Right now,
the menu is completely empty.. how do I subscribe to newsgroups?

Help ('h') is context dependent.

In short, on the 'Group Selection' page, use 'g' (group) to find a
group in the active file and then use 's' (subscribe) to that group.

Realized I wasn't authenticating too (-A flag) and now its hanging on
"reading groups from active file" before crashing from an nntp
connection error..

Another note is that when just running tin -r, it does work partially.
You have to manually fetch the ng, which I didn't realize, but it's
still limited to the e-s hierarchy. Also, it still crashes when trying
to enter one. I think it *might* be an issue with server timeout? since
after it crashes the e-s connection refuses for a bit.

It's definitely something with the timeout, using -t to lengthen it
makes it exit faster/shorter.
