How to get a list of newsgroups served by https://www.novabbs.com ?

Since there is no search form for newsgroups,
how to get to know which newsground is served and how to access it, since no search form/ interface is provided ?

It takes me time to access alt.privacy.anon-server newsgroup

since no hierarchy list of newsgroups is published
\ Can you help ?

I am trying the following syntax from web browser

https://www.novabbs.com/computers/post.php?group=alt.privacy.anon-server

and a list of newsgroups from Usenet Google Groups

I am subscribed to

///

Test for

https://groups.google.com/g/sci.electronics.design

url syntax:

https://www.novabbs.com/computers/post.php?group=alt.privacy.anon-server

replaced

https://www.novabbs.com/computers/post.php?group=sci.electronics.design

Test OK

got it

https://www.novabbs.com/computers/post.php?group=sci.electronics.design

computers / sci.electronics.design
Compose a new post in sci.electronics.design

It's not clear to me,
what makes sci.electronics.design

to be member of the computers category of newsgroups

Can you help and publish clicable list of newsgroups served by

https://www.novabbs.com/ ?

thank you

e.g. (using Tor Browser 13.0.8) . . .

(page shows 10,671 newsgroups containing at least one or more messages)
(leaving about 42790 - 10671 = 32119 newsgroups containing no messages)

I'll put together a list soon. It won't be clickable right away, I have
some bugs to fix first.

sci.electronics.design is in 'tech':
https://www.novabbs.com/tech/thread.php?group=sci.electronics.design

You can type
https://www.novabbs.com/computers/thread.php?group=sci.electronics.design
but it should rewrite to /tech/
