Is it more of an issue of trying to find things manually? My setup is all automated, so maybe the bad stuff is just getting weeded out? I could definitely be having some confirmation bias here since I rarely have to find something manually.

they have very lax standards and some sus moderating. A few years ago there was a chain of accounts sending crypto miners along with cracks, and they were most likely complicit

Ah, I see. I've just been lucky with my setup, then. I keep Radarr/Prowlarr synced with the Trash Guides. I also have Cleanuparr set up to keep my torrent queue clean, and it includes a malware component that tells qbit to ignore most non-media file extensions.

I can't seem to add 1337x to prowlarr, how are you able to add it as a tracker? I don't think flaresolver works anymore

I've also read in a few locations that flaresolver supposedly doesn't work anymore, but it seems to be chugging along just fine in my setup. If I try to use the 1337x tracker without flaresolver, retrievals will fail every time. Including a screenshot here of the most recent flaresolver logs. I do run flaresolver through my VPN connection - not sure if that would have anything to do with it.

You marked your account as a bot but you look like a human user. Some users filter out bots so you may want to change it.

Yeah that's was me using the wrong account. I just started hosting my own instance, been screwing around with settings and using that account with lemmy subscriber bot to get federation started.
