I know we aren’t allowed to ask for invites specifically so hopefully this question isn’t in violation.
Where does one even start looking? Do I just constantly refresh pages and hope there will be open sign ups one day?

once you are in just escalate to others through invites forums.
That, or you can request an invite (given the community allows for it).
Do I just constantly refresh pages and hope there will be open sign ups one day?
That or you know someone who has an invite. There’s places where you can buy invites, but many private trackers will ban you for doing so.
Drug dealers.
Where does one get an invite to a drug dealer?
Yeah. They make you do stuff.
Some have an interview process in place (notably redacted). Once you get in a first one (either through interview, open signup or any other way) you can start climbing the ranks, at some point you should have access to an invite section on the tracker forum where you can find invites to other trackers (not all trackers have an invite forum and they don’t have access to the same invites).
I know reddit is the devil, but they actually have an active subreddit whereas lemmy’s is pretty much dead. Check /r/opensignups
Keep an eye out for open trackers
Or keep an eye on the invite giveaway thread in !trackers@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Or interview for the big music trackers and work your way up the ranks to participate in their internal tracker recruitment threads e.g. https://interviewfor.red and https://interview.orpheus.network
PS - Trackers like TL tend to do open signups a few times a year so it’s not really that difficult to get going once you catch an open signup.
Thanks for all the links I’ll keep my eyes open.
