In some countries you can get fined for torrents.

So he would need VPN and/or debrid

Simpler and cheaper to go direct link download as OP.

Can confirm!

Also use it for years and it is simple and does the job perfectly.

Never had problems.

I can find it on beehaw.org But only if I enter only "avtech" in search.

If I search "!avtech@lemmy.world" it doesn't find anything.

Seems finicky, rules keep changing ...

To me this seems as very important issue to tackle...

Yes, there should be instance caps, and they should be visible to users.

That way users can scale, choose, without much thinking.

This same techinque works everywhere, for example MMO games. You have availability visible and choose servers according to it.

This would fix scaling partially without much technical changes.

Set sorting to New if it's newer community.

Some didn't show to me if default 'Top' sorting was set.

I've actually found the problem!

FIX:

While searching for community change sorting to 'New' and then it appears, any other sorting (Top All Time, Top Day, Old, etc.) just doesn't show some new communities.

torrentgalaxy is okay-ish.

Not rarbg but in a ballpark.

Yes, even week would be great and big hit.

Two days is .. laughable.

I have the same problem. I can't find some communities when 'All' is selected.

Seems to me that is communities creator fault. Maybe they didn't do federation to other instances.
