I know that this community will fall to the exact same destiny as they all do. 999 posts wanting a Drunkenslug invite and if all the stars align we get a once in a lifetime post of someone offering an invite.
Many of Usenet users don’t actually know they can invite people and help others to their first steps into that scene.
So i beg of you, take a look into your profiles, find those invite buttons and offer them here! They will not be of any use if they just get dusty in your profiles, we need those invites in the community!
There is absolutely nothing for you personally to gain here, other than the satisfaction of helping others.
Thank you all and cheers!

I doubt bots are catching these links, but just in case, you get to do a tiny bit of work for it.
I’m at the point of looking to pay for a good usenet service. I’ll definitely probably start looking next week.
Check out torbox. Its like a seedbox/debrid but the pro plan also comes with Usenet. I just started using it but seems really promising.
They have been having a lot off issues lately because they don’t have enough servers yet. They are supposed to get new servers setup this week.
Just to clarify OP is referring to sharing invites in !usenet_invites@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Does getting an invite mean you can use it without paying? I stopped with Usenet like 15 years ago when my ISP stopped offering it for free. Not really interested in paying another subscription just to pirate stuff but if I can get an invite for free I’d love to check it again and see what all the fuss is about.
Once you have an account, either because you got an invitation or reg is open, most usenet indexers have a free tier that lets you grab a few files per day. The invitation alone is not going to give you a premium account for free.
I do recommend getting on to a couple of good indexers and using the free grabs to see how you like usenet. Personally, I love it, even though it isn’t free. YMMV.
if anybody still has one please PM me, i am not fast enough for this game.
Edit: done
