This one?

    Is there a usable Android newsreader?
    I used to use Groundhog, but that one hasn't been maintained for a few 
    years (and the apk can be installed but doesn't play well with my 
    current Android phone).
    I also have PhoNews, but not only is that one incredibly slow, it also 
    keeps forgetting I paid for the full version.

That post mentioned PiaoHong's NewsGroup Reader & Ken's Usenet Reader 
both of which were already in the list but it also mentioned Ken's demo.
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ken.android.nntpreader>

And apparently in that thread you had kindly supplied a URL to a modded' 
PiaHong newsreader credited to 'alfio' or 'P/ero' on the Italian newsgroup.

Later on you mention "Alfio has produced a new version M11 of his modded 
version of the PiaiHong newsreader. This fixes bugs in M10. It's a new 
app from Android's viewpoint so you should delete M10 or the original. 
It doesn't work on Android 14. It's based on the 1.65 free version of 
the PiaiHong Newsreader.

There is a related post in that thread, which Google translated for us.

    I didn't feel like leaving Android 14 owners without my Mod.
    so I worked hard and this is the result:
    https://mega.nz/file/iVYSlRKD#kSeQuOLfmAqocp_6MkWWDxoE3MN1S17pwQ2WSRrss4M

    this is the latest version released by PiaoHong, 2.02, in which
    I made all the changes made in recent years to the previous one
    1.65.
    I don't think it's bug-free, try it and let me know.

    Unfortunately, although the name of this mod is different from the original,
    you can't install them together, you get this warning:
    https://i.postimg.cc/05wPh4hm/Screenshot-2024-01-23-22-38-24-511-com-miui-packageinstaller.jpg
    whatever Google means by "services", it complains that it sees it
    same identifier in different applications.

    if you update the M11 instead, there are no problems.

And then a quick followup by that same Italian poster.

    and you've already found one! :-)))
    here's the fix:
