Usenet Newbie - How do you get into private tracker? (lemmy.world)

Hey y'all! I'm pretty new to usenet and kind of overwhlemed with how many trackers are private. I got my eyes on DrunkenSlug and DOGnzb but it seems damn near impossible to get in. I got an NZBGeek subscription but want to diversify.

Any tips? For those who are "in" HOW DID YOU DO IT!! Thank you in advanced :)

It’s not a fun answer, but without an invite your best bet is to keep the site open in a tab and refresh it every day. Or use a change tracker to watch it for you. One day your patience will pay off and they’ll open registrations. Hop on it immediately when they do, sometimes it’ll only be open for a day or less.

Geek is a great place to start though, it’s a solid indexer (trackers are for torrents FYI, usenet has indexers for nzbs). Dog is overrated imo, I wouldn’t worry about getting in there.
