novabbs.com is a popular website that currently uses rocksolid light to
connect with a popular usenet server news.i2pn2.org, which carries over
forty-two thousand newsgroups, of which novabbs includes a selection of
over four hundred (420) newsgroups; so connect your favorite newsreader
client to news.i2pn2.org download the group list and you're in business:

(using Tor Browser 13.0.8)

page shows 10,510 newsgroups containing at least one or more messages,
leaving about 42790 - 10671 = 32280 newsgroups containing no messages,
so about 75% - three out of four - of these newsgroups not being used
(at least some of these inactive groups were probably created in jest);
if more websites (https://rocksolid.sybershock.com/rocksolid/index.php
for example) offered the rocksolid format, they could include whatever
newsgroups they prefer available on any nntp servers of their choosing,
e.g. for foreign language, low traffic and special interest newsgroups
