Been so long since I've even been in the community that I don't know any of the smaller forums but check out https://filesharingtalk.com/content/. Get known for being active and if there is still an IRC pop by there. The key once you're past the standard ones like TL, is to not be that hungry for invites, the less hungry you are the more places you get to. Maybe check out https://thepiratesociety.org/ which used to be a solid community 10 years ago but I dunno how it is nowadays.
Or you can just buy one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/143939358334 for example is $2 and is the private (semi public - all the benefits of private but easy to get). It's the one I use. Buying invites can lead to getting banned but if you're just chilling out on TL then you'll be fine.
A tip for private trackers. Only download new things and freeleech until you build up a buffer (You've uploaded more than you've downloaded)

There's currently a promotion running:

Personally, I would suggest this. Use the seedbox for the first month downloading new freeleech torrents and build up a few TB buffer and use it worry free for years.
Buying an invite for TL is not a smart idea, they have regular open signups. You put all your accounts at risk for little gain.
This is why I gave the cavet that it's only worth doing if you're just going to use TL. If you're not into the whole tracker ladder thing then buying TL is kinda a safe bet, it's semi public. TL just care about money, I wouldn't be shocked to find out that TL has been sold a few times.
Previously, when I was really into torrenting I climbed the ladder really well, I was in the forum sections where staff would share the details of banned users. They mostly cared about cheaters, unless it was a small site trying to be exclusive. I knew people who would go to tracker staff and out people for trading and selling and nothing would happen.
But overall if you want to get into the torrent community buying and trading isn't worth it. But if you just want a single solid torrent site and are willing to pay TL is the one to do it with.
whats is the best way to get access to the better sites? i've been on IPT for years with great ratio but no idea where to even begin to look for getting into top tier ones
