In the Group buffer, do `gnus-group-enter-server-mode'
(or hit S-6, or '^' - I have that 'S' instead, which
is much better, by the way).

Now, you should see a line:

    nntp: news.gwene.org

Go to it and hit RET.

If you don't see it, try to add this to you the/an
init file:

    (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
      '( ; ...
         (nntp "news.gwene.org") ))

Next, find

    K   2597: gwene.com.stackexchange.emacs

Hit 'u' for `gnus-browse-unsubscribe-current-group' (I
have that 's') to remove the "K" sign (for killed,
i.e. not added).

It is very confusing: to subscribe, you have to
unsubscribe, and if you haven't done anything, you are
a killer... "You get ship if I get trip. ... That's
a ship? Who cares, as long as it flies."

Only bummer is you can't reply to Gwene posts.
