i've imported and deduped all available usenet backups/mbox files from 
archive.org (several TB compressed) without any filtering and accepted 
every group that showed up which results in 471k groups so far at the 
Full-Node.

'news.software.nntp' for example dates back to 1987.

it should be readable via NNTP
