1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

SEO has essentially destroyed search engines, what are some very useful websites that you might not get given by Google?

seirdy.one has this great index of google alternatives that can be used.

Anna's Archive and z-library are the best way I've found to pirate books

Don't forget about Libgen and all its instances. I heard they pull books from z-lib but I'm not sure how it works anymore.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Anna's archive is a meta indexer, pointing to libgen as the sources.

Mobilism dot org has been my saviour for well over a decade for books

Audiobooks too?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, but !lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy recommends audioaz.com as a good source of pirated Audiobooks

https://Audiobookbay.nl works pretty well (best public tracker I think) for audiobooks but the absolute best source for audiobooks and ebooks is the private tracker https://myanonamouse.net
