There is a little bit of activity in the Fidonews echo.
And some activity in one of the Cooking echoes. The JamNNTPd
echo sometimes has some activity. Fidogazette echo is mostly
just the newsletter, but does have some activity from time
to time.

Which ones are active, and which are not? How does a sysop
make that determination?
Look at it this way -
Each sysop is master of his/her own board.
He/she can carry whatever echoes of his/her own choice.
Or not.
There is no "official list of Fidonet echoes".
Only echoes that have been created by individuals.
Aside from the Fidonews.
Which existed before Time Itself.
I am master of my own creation.
Steve Asher handed me the CONSPRCY echo.
That makes me the "owner" of that echo.
Sysops are free to list it on their system.
Or not list it on their system.
You might decide to create an echo of your own.
Call it by whatever name you choose to give it.
Let's call it MONSTER.
Sysops are free to list it on their system.
Or not to list it on their system.
As "owner" of the MONSTER echo, you can
place restrictions as to who can post, etc.
But sysops are the masters of all, and get
to choose if they want to list your echo.
Or not.
