As someone who just finished dusting my hat off after 12 years and setting up jellyfin how do I get the content I need for it?
Try Usenet, you don't need to worry about a VPN that way
You can only access it by paying, right?
Also, do you think there's content with subtitles or in languages other than English? (Italian, for example)
Yes generally, but it can be very cheap. Some places sell block accounts which let you pay a one time fee for a set amount of data. Black Friday deals are coming up, and you an usually get amazing deals (1TB for under $5, able to be purchased multiple times, or subscriptions which work out to a couple dollars/euros a month).
The other thing you'd need is an indexer. Some are free, but for the best experience you'd want to pay for acess to a private indexer. Usually a few bucks as well, almost all of the big ones run sales this time of the year.
For subtitles: there are several solutions. Jellyfin (and Plex) support finding subtitles that you either download with a tool like Bazarr, or via Jellyfin/Plex's own interface. Bazarr auto downloads them based on your parameters you give it though.
Okay, so maybe I could try it first with a block account and an indexer. I'll keep an eye on black Friday deals. Thank you :)
There's subs in a lot of languages. But it really depends on the community

The price for an indexer + unlimited regular usenet from most providers is about 100 bucks a year. So cheaper than a single normal streaming service.
Take a look at the pinned megathread of this community
I usually try qbittorrent + plug-ins (1337x and others) with that you can search for stuff directly from the torrent client which is great. If it's not there I'll usually look up on btdig or similar torrent indexers, after that, I'll send the files to my server via FTP.
