How does one get started in the invite-only tracker / indexer world? (lemmy.zip)

I have off and on through the years downloaded some things by using magnet links from The Pirate Bay. I've been working on a nice NAS (DS923+) setup that is now running Jellyseerr, Jellyfin, QBittorrent, Radarr, and Sonarr. Everything seems to be linked up, and my media is being hosted a-okay. However, in order to get the Jellyseerr / Radarr / Sonarr bit working, I need proper indexers. I have never really understood this world. I know I need an invite, and I just missed a window with one. I'm trying to figure what is best and how to get in the in-crowd.

Can anybody instruct on how these trackers work when compared to just pulling from TPB. Also, how can one get hooked up with an invite. I didn't want to ask this on my main account for obvious reasons, but I'm sure many people could benefit from learning this too; especially as the media landscape gets worse and worse.

Check out /r/OpenSignups on reddit for private trackers opening their doors for new users. There are a couple clones of it here on lemmy but they're both dead. You dont need to get into top tier stuff and if you see people saying otherwise they're just bragging about their "secret little club." Im in several midrange trackers and have zero issues finding content, new or old, using these with a few public trackers like 1337x and TPB as a fallback.

Once you get in make sure you read and follow the rules. The big thing is to seed your downloads for however long they say minimum but preferably as long as possible as you'll likely gain bonus points doing this which you can then turn in for upload credit.

Downloading freeleech content is also a good way to build ratio.
