if you have a seedbox, the easy way to get a good ratio is just to follow whatever release group is popular on the site, and just literally start seeding every single thing they release. Often times on PHD you’ll get a free or half download if it’s an internal group, and if it’s a popular movie or show it’ll get loads of downloads. I did this exact thing, and after a little while I had basically infinite ratio and have been using the site for years without even worrying about ratio.

I honestly haven’t noticed this. I can almost always find what I’m looking for with a general ddg search. Interesting.

The ads are out of control, so no, it’s not great unless you use an adblocker, which on mobile doesn’t work with the native client.

I use NewsBlur as a backend and Unread as a front end and absolutely love it. For whatever reason unread can often pull the entire article when NewsBlur won’t. Works great!

Link to the native iOS kbin app that’s outside of TestFlight? Same for lemmy?
