Hello! I would like to better know what you guys think is best in specific indexers. For instance, easynews websearch is good to find a lot (even newly released) shows from both US, UK and DE. I was surprised with the availability of european movies there and it has some good filtering options (ui v2 is just better, looks more like a normal indexer webpage). My example is not the best since easynews is not quite an indexer per si, but could you guys tell what makes your favorite indexers better for you? Is one better organized? Is another good for any specific niche (ie: japanese stuff, or euro shows, or latin american movies or whatever) ? I know it has been asked a lot and written a lot elsewhere, but it could be nice to have some content here @ lemmy too!

Wow, do both sound great.

I also mostly just search manually, but am looking at setting up something more automated soon.

I used to use all of this stuff many years ago, but less so in recent years.

But the fragmentation and rising costs of paid services and the way every single thing is becoming a subscription is annoying the hell out of me. It's like they are trying to do their best to push me back to this stuff!

Anyway, I see both of the above services are invite only, if anyone can spare one I'd be really grateful!

I’d recommend Drunkenslug. DogNZB only accepts Crypto, and has no free tier, if you don’t renew subs, you loose access.

DSlug opens up fairly regularly, typically on occasions like Black Friday. I don’t currently have any invites for them, sorry.

Thanks a lot to the awesome user who messaged me a DrunkenSlug invite.

Have signed up and look forward to trying it out :)

Lucky guy. I guess I'll start a thread looking for the invite for DS.
