Hi, could anyone guide me to a Fedora newsgroup, please?

Looks to be in Polish - maybe not what you are looking for.

or is alt.os.linux.redhat ok for questions regarding Fedora?

Distribution specific newsgroups are not standardized, and in the case
of Red Hat, there are a shedload of them:

[compton ~]$ grep -c redhat .newsrc
47
[compton ~]$

Of the Red Hat groups that I try to follow, I see

Group 2H2005 1H2006 2H2006 1H2007
alt.linux.redhat: 294 401 194 89
alt.os.linux.redhat: 937 675 528 309
comp.os.linux.redhat: 428 214 130 116
linux.redhat: 3481 3511 2356 732

However, looking at the sanctioned Big Eight hierarchy, there are just
17 Linux newsgroups that should be found on every news server, and
because of that, they get far better readership:

comp.os.linux.hardware: 3019 3410 3323 1681
comp.os.linux.misc: 18409 18265 14150 7838
comp.os.linux.networking: 5179 4716 4110 2010
comp.os.linux.security: 1901 1549 1463 454
comp.os.linux.setup: 4263 3467 2669 1371
comp.os.linux.x: 597 550 380 196

The last column (2H2007) is up to 14:00 UTC on 22 April.

Your choice.
