Was does trawling opensignup mean ?
I'm guessing he's referring to r/opensignups but there's probably a Lemmy community for it too
Anyway, these communities post updates when private trackers open up their registrations. These don't happen regularly so it's good to know when they open so you can register and access their content
Sorry, yes that's what I meant. The idea is to create accounts on private trackers, and one way to do this is to wait for open signups (which I used to use on Reddit, not sure what the Lemmy equivalent is). As you amass them, you can just input them straight into Prowlarr. Then, when looking for something; say, music in Lidarr, it will search all the private trackers and hunt for albums from that band (or movie, or TV show). Just set the seeding ratio on your Tracker to a high enough number to satisfy all the private trackers and Bob's your uncle!
Looks like !opensignups@lemmy.ml exists. Not a lot there yet, but hopefully it can pick up some steam over time.
