I have SeaMonkey installed alongside Firefox on my laptop simply because it's kind of fun to browse the web in a browser that sort of looks like the late Netscape Navigator, or early Mozilla browser. It's fun loading a Netscape site in it.
Is there a way to connect (preferable with the ability to post) with it for free?
Yep, you can get a free account at https://www.eternal-september.org/ if your ISP doesn't carry newsgroups (note it's for text groups only). Personally, I use Thunderbird as a newsreader (and my ISP still carries most newsgroups), there are also dedicated apps like Pan: http://pan.rebelbase.com/
I'll give it a pass just because this webpage is clearly intended only for US consumption. In other news, that's the same "consent page" for all Oath* services, which makes my blood boil.
* Now Verizon Media, but I now see the utility of such seemingly-frivolous name.
When I clicked to check my Netscape Mail, which I have never had, I was taken to an AOL.com mail login page. Plus, the Netscape page attempts to load AOL resources.

Surprising to see recent headlines. Who here is still maintaining this. I am so nostalgic and intrigued.

Ditto. While Mozilla shut down the mailing lists this week, there's now an alt.comp.software.seamonkey newsgroup.
It's been a while since I've tried newsgroups. They were already on their way out by the time I was born.
Does gnus still work? Is there a way to connect (preferable with the ability to post) with it for free?
How does one make a newsgroup?

The search works well too: https://isp.netscape.com/pf/newssearch?q=business%20OR%20mon...
It's also GDPR compliant! I guess there still must be enough traffic on it to continue updates.
That consent page is not compliant.

It must be AOL. AOL runs Verizon's Mail.

Likely just a rendered RSS feed.
