Usenet doesn't have any specific "fedora newsgroups" (that I've seen), though you could post to the redhat groups and still be on topic. The message you replied to refers to using gmane to access _this list_ via an NNTP interface. All you would do is add the news.gmane.org server to your favorite news reader and subscribe (in this case to gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general).
