This software periodically checks your preferred communities on HTML-based forums and Usenet newsgroups, and notifies you of any new posts that match your interests. It uses filters to ensure it only alerts you on topics you care about.
One of the program's standout features is its ability to let you subscribe to specific groups and only track new posts in those groups. Plus, you can even set up various notification conditions, such as being notified of any posts in certain topics, your topics, or in any other groups you specify. This means you'll be able to stay up-to-date on the conversations that matter most to you.
Another great thing about CommunityMate is that it works with both Usenet communities (newsgroups) and HTML-based forums. When it comes to HTML forums specifically, the software will even skip front pages and avoid downloading unnecessary graphics (like ads or avatars), which can help save your internet data usage.
CommunityMate has a host of other features as well, including custom schedules for each community, the ability to view communities offline, and a wide range of generic community features like posting and replying by email. It also supports various charsets and can be set up to download only a certain number of lines from Usenet posts. And if you ever find yourself receiving unwanted posts from specific senders, the software lets you create your own blacklists to ignore those posts entirely.
Overall, if you're part of multiple online communities and looking for an easier way to stay on top of them all, CommunityMate is definitely worth considering.
