Does your ISP have a news server? If so, configure that in. If not,
I'm sure somebody knows the names of suitable public news servers.

Once that's done, your newsreader should be able to show you the list
of available newsgroups and let you select the ones you want to
subscribe to. My ISP's server carries 37225 newsgroups right now,
ranging from the sensible (comp.os.linux.*) through mild lunacy
(rec.aviation.soaring) to the extreme
(alt.alien.vampire.flonk.flonk.flonk).
