Finding mainstream media on usenet - am I doing it wrong? (lemm.ee)

Hey crew! I often run into the issue that I can't find usenet entries for reasonably mainstream stuff. Example: "and just like that", a quite recent, mainstream-ish tv series. Second season is super available (dropped this year), first one has massive health problems and a lot of missing episodes. The first season is from 2021.

Using the inebriated slug and the geek terrestrial object as indexers with news demon as a provider.

Is there a trick to finding content or do I just have to live with some stuff / episodes / seasons not being available?

the older stuff on newsdemon is hit or miss anyways cause of the way they handle their storage so it will be hard to know if its gone cause they suck or gone cause of takedown.

Overall not too happy with the performance but wanted a provider that accepted crypto

i can understand that about crypto. Fwiw, this discussion was posted recently about usenet and crypto, https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/2612428 Others take crypto and several of the ones mentioned take it directly without a processor and have better perf. than the newsdemon system.
