Definitely don't go to fmhy.net and definitly don't join the !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com community. Also don't visit torrentgalaxy.to, 1337x.to or solidtorrents.to. You probably also wouldn't want to check out rutracker.org or therarbg.com.

Saving your comment to remember what sites to avoid.

Save offline or bookmark in case it gets deleted.

Also share it when you can in other places so people know what pages to avoid.

Arghh

Also, stay away from usenet and definitely don't use the arr apps to automatically download your favorite shows and movies.

Any guide on how to find the usenet groups? I'd hate to stumble upon them accidentally, so it's best to be prepared.

You'll need one or more indexers to find content. Keep an eye on that sub for when some of the good ones open their registrations.
