Hi, I have configured Gnus with NNTP server news.gmane.io. When I press
M-d in the group buffer, it lists about 36k groups. I would like to
browse and subscribe to some groups, but I don't have time to linearly
scan through this list. The group names follow a hierarchical naming
pattern. How can I browse groups in a hierarchical fashion? Thanks.

That so? :)

In the Group buffer, hit the key for
`gnus-group-enter-server-mode', then `gnus-server-read-server'
after moving point to news.gmane.io, then after moving point
to e.g. gmane.comp.lamers.r.us hit
`gnus-browse-toggle-subscription-at-point'.

Thanks, but I don't think that solved my issue -- it still requires
linearly scrolling through tens of thousands of groups.

I would like to browse groups by walking a tree data
structure. E.g. start by expanding "gmane", then expand "gmane.emacs",
then expand "gmane.emacs.gnus", then finally arrive at
"gmane.emacs.gnus.user". There are entire subtrees I want to collapse
and skip e.g. "gmane.comp.audio.*". Is this possible?
