Thanks for this. How do you navigate 4chan.org?
  • the top level /g/ and /t/ etc are the boards. Like territories on Stacker news or subreddits
  • then click "catalog" to see an overview of posts in a grid view. If you don't you'll get a list of posts and the comments within which is hard for newbies (4chan lingo "newfag") to navigate.
  • If you click on a post scroll as little as possible. Use the "top" and "bottom" buttons instead
  • The comment section inside a post isn't threaded. They have ">number" referencing instead. This lets you answer multiple comment paths simultaneously. Threads can merge and split paths arbitrarily which is much better than Reddit, SN, Twitter etc.
  • url /board/searchterm gives you the grid view of the catalog but with a search function. e.g. /t/kirk searches for the one Chalie Kirk post in the torrent board
  • Posts auto delete themselves after some time
  • To post or write replys you don't need an account but solve a captcha
And sorry, I have no idea of what to do with the "magnet" link. Just putting it in the browser doesn't appear to work.
Magnet links are for torrents. You need a torrent client instead of a browser (and a vpn preferrably).
Torrents are like Nostr but for files only. And more decentralized than Nostr and 20 years old than Nostr.
this territory is moderated
Thank you. Do you have a recommended Torrent client, for complete beginners?

I use Mullvard VPN (because they accept Lightning) and qBittorrent as client.
Idk, i think they're all easy to use. "add link", start, stop ... I have never needed more complicated features
