on DrunkenSlug invites? · c/usenet · 1 pts · 3y

Nah, on the original subreddit there was a verification process in order to be able to request invites. You needed to share an invite before you could request one. Kept things fair but also a little annoying if you're brand new.

Nah i don't think there are any existing communities or rules, but I have a feeling one will be set up soon with more security so we can safely trade invites.

Typically you can find content at a higher quality than public trackers. For example, Movie X may be available through 1337x.to at 1080p but may be super compressed/have a lower bitrate.

You could go to a private tracker specializing in movies and find Movie X at 720p but with a higher bitrate so it looks better than the 1080p public.

If you find everything you need on public trackers that's great! I started using private when I couldn't find some foreign content or when I was looking for higher quality content.

I spent some time going through any subreddit I liked and joining their Discord or Lemmy.

I found quite a few that didn't mention the blackouts or API changes and I didn't want to cause a ruckus by posting...so I'd like to know too.

Posting this from my Lemmy acct but tbh kbin looks nicer. I have a feeling everyone's waiting till the end of the month to really see what happens with the 3rd party apps and then they'll lock themselves in to either: Discord, Lemmy, Kbin, or stay on Reddit.

The more tech savvy and/or privacy minded subreddits moved to Lemmy communities, at least for the stuff I look at.
