In my opinion, FMHY has turned into a search engine (they have more than 10,000 links) rather than a simple list of resources.
That is why I am planning on creating a simple and mentainable list of resources, where all of the links would be checked periodically in Virustotal and offline websites would be removed almost instantly.
Which bring me to the following question, what is the best service to host this, any suggestions(preferably open source)?
Idk what FMHY is but if its not this then what youre talking about already exists.
However, that list, while still mostly good, has been slowly turning… Not great.
Lemmy.dbzer0 has a list they maintain that is almost identical but better maintained. I’d post a link but idt it will work for you if you’re not a member of the instance.
https://rentry.co/megathread this one?
Weird, I thought it’s the pne linked in the sidebar
Can you please post the link?
I will see if I can access it, to check if their list is better.

Sorry I had to find it, which isn’t easy on my phone, for some reason.
ETA: Also, if it works for you, please let me know so I can offer it to others as well!
Thank you, it works for me.
But that is still too much links, currently I might create a list on sntry.
BTW, FMHY is a list which has a good amount of resources as same as the megathread, but as I said they contain too much resources that it bacame a search engine rather than a list.
Is the lemmy.dbzer0 megathread really better maintained? It was last updated on March 3, 2024, unlike the original piracy megathread that was updated last August 29.
To my knowledge the recent update on the reddit megathread was recently updated because users were getting malware from one of the links. Its why I moved here, actually.
Good to know, thanks! I’ll stick with dbzer0’s megathread from now on.
Would you only be duplicated content from wikis already available and simply cherry picking from those lists instead? I don’t see how FMHY is difficult to navigate. Yes it has 10,000 links, but you go to the topic you need and it has 10-20 links of which you can pick and choose.
What I think is missing is a kind of signed database version control system. So you make a list of data (maybe just a markdown table) and you sign it wiht a private key and put that in a DHT / distributed hashtable. Then people can use that and you can update the database / list. People can also fork this list, add their own stuff and distribute it as their own and signed with their own private key. And you could have pull requests and merge back good additions. All without requiring proper servers but possibly benefiting from being hosted on a seedbox.
And of course a simple client to find and view such lists.
Ideally you’d have some template that describes typical metadata for a kind of distribute movie database, but also books, subtitles, songs, albums, articles, scientific papers, fonts. But you can also fork the templates and extend them. So you might have a perfectly legit open source database of movies with links to what legit streaming service is selling it, and then an extra template that extends that with magnet releases.
I have never seen something like this though, my puny brain has trouble imagining the technical hurdles. Maybe this could just be done with a simple version control system client. I think torrent V2 also has some extensions that allow update-able torrents (which some FUD confused with this being the default). Or maybe it’s that proper web pages allow people to make money through advertising.

You’re basically describing a blockchain
