It is a sad day and year for Piracy. Soap2Day was the best of the best. So was RARBG.
Why are all these piracy sites dropping like flies? There was no warning/explanation for why they went down. Higher running/maintenance cost doesn’t explain it, because why not just temporarily shut down until the bills come down? Plus, the timing is bang in the middle of the reddit protest too, which is setting my conspiracy alarms off.
No need to panic mateys, try these great alternatives:
You can also visit Movies & TV section in the Megathread for way more options.

Jesus christ. Cant even post it to reddit and it feels wrong. But jesus christ. It was like gods library of content in there. great service, high quality, little to no scummy ads. I remember it from day one. Fucking christ.

This is one of the reasons why I set up my own media server with jellyfin.
- darkstar ( @darkstar@sh.itjust.works ) English2•1 year ago
Was it easy to setup a server with jellyfin? I’ve done a little bit of research about it but not too much, just wandering what your experience is with it
- Veni_Vidic_Vici ( @Veni_Vidic_Vici@vlemmy.net ) English2•1 year ago
Yeah it’s quite easy. It took me barely a couple of hours to set up an entire server of sonarr/radarr/jackett/qbittorrent/jellyfin/jellyseer.

AI
- Mothra ( @Mothra@mander.xyz ) English5•1 year ago
For not so smart people like me- can someone explain how/what role AI plays in all of this?
- LlamaSutra ( @LlamaSutra@sh.itjust.works ) English7•1 year ago
AI can search multiple things at the same time really fast. It can also detect patterns super quick. It probably is doing something like looking for multiple users accessing high bandwidth or something. I dunno. This might not even be happening. Just a guess 😆

I guess, the rising server costs and the war have got something to do with it.

Set up a Jellyfin stack. Makes it super easy for them.

Noooo, any alternatives?

Looks like some of the mirrors are still up? But the message says
“Hello guys: We have decided to close soap2day forever. We are very sorry :) Bye”
So maybe the mirror sites will be going down soon?

Stremio + Torrentio is what you need in life man lol
- z2k_ ( @z2k_@lemmy.nz ) English1•1 year ago
I already have Sonarr and Radarr setup. Might try Stremio next time I need to reconfigure everything.
Soap2day was a quick way to watch things that aren’t very popular.

123movies?

Stremio is the best app for movies and series. I’ve never seen anything like it.

There are about 20 or so clone sites of Soap2day… Some of them are actually better than the original… These work for me…

Wait, lookmovie is a soap2day clone?
- NM156 ( @NM156@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English2•1 year ago
It’s a different site… I put up 2 examples of Soa2Day clones…

For people asking for an alternative, it is not the same exact thing, but 123series.net can really do the job imo for all movies series
- Noisey ( @Noisey@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English4•1 year ago
I tried to find out what happened and found this because of the reddit protest. Was watching Lower Decks and then the farewell was given. Felt bad. Soap2day was just so streamlined. o7 Take care king.

They have gone? I barely used it, but when I was about to use it always helped me out. I miss especially rarbg R.I.P.
- Zagvus ( @Zagvus@lemmynsfw.com ) English3•1 year ago
It had the best video quality! :(
I also had made for myself a simple bookmarklet to pick a random episode, since they were all on the same page. To watch Futurama, Simpsons, etc. Like so:
javascript:(function() {var eps = document.querySelectorAll('.col-sm-12 > a');window.location.pathname = eps[Math.floor(Math.random()*eps.length)].getAttribute('href')})();
