Alternatively, you can activate groups at any level with "C-u N > g" (replace N with desired level, e.g. 5). Yes, sorry, that was a bit confusing. All my nntp groups are at level 5, and if I start with gnus-activate-level at 4, the nntp server itself doesn't show up in the server buffer. Running `5 g' brings everything back to life, though.
