No, not at all. I don’t consider forums social media. Something like Kbin might fall into the social media category though.

Cool project

Well PlayStation staff member, it definitely isn’t having people create another account when they already have a Steam account.

I agree. I was paying Kagi a few months ago but then started self hosting a SearXNG instance. The nicest thing about it is that I can replace links and select the engines I want to use. It’s very customizable.

Zero. I don’t need to block communities as I only browse subscriptions.

Mullvad, or the best one is your own DNS.

I do. I hate politics.

Unfortunately, this tracker will need to rely on centralized databases such as MAL, anidb and anilist as I can’t really seem to find an easy way to curate new animes without them.

  1. I am not very sure about this point honestly, as previously discussed in this thread, having a database that is only maintained by the community has its own disadvantages that definitely outweight its advantages. For example, you would need constant moderator approval, which is slow.
  2. I am not sure what you mean by the ability to share them privately. Do you mean like whitelisting certain people that can view your animelist? Like how MAL has a friends only thing?

  1. I see. That probably could be a solution. Thanks, that gave me an alternative way of doing things. I’ll consider this while making this project and see how I can do it.
  2. Yeah, that definitely will be a feature. No worries!

As for point 3 and 4, they most likely will be implemented as well.

Honestly, your repo idea could even make this project not only an anime tracker but basically a tracker for every audiovisual content without much effort.

Python, Rust and Lua. SQL if that counts as well.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, something similar to Bookwyrm. I decided to use the Jikan API which scrapes the MAL website if I get approval from the MAL team. The migration feature shouldn’t be hard and I’ll implement it for various platforms (MAL, AniList, Kitsu, etc.)

Thanks.

Basically the reviews, threads and comments of an anime are going to be federated. So a new anime entry will create a new community in Lemmy for example and threads/reviews are going to be posts in that community which everyone on the fediverse can comment on.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, it’s a tracker with forums.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Wouldn’t Internet Archive be a bit slow? And also, I don’t want to stress their servers.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks.

@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Correct. I thought there was some way to prevent those duplicates because of the federation, but apparently there’s no such check being done so it’s all duplicates. For that reason I won’t put any effort into making the database federated. Only threads, reviews and comments will be federated. This might change as I make it though. There are also clubs in MAL which I might copy and implement in this project and they could be federated as well.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

I can see that being a problem.

Asudox, (edited )
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Oh well, no. The database won’t be decentralized. That just invites chaos. Bookwyrm did that and now there are lots of duplicates in their library, which I definitely want to avoid. The things that will be federated are animes’ forums (as communities in Lemmy for example), and those communities will have threads that will be either a forum thread or a review which others can comment on from any federated platform. Some other things might get federated in the future.

I decided to just scrape either MAL alone or multiple sources.

If you have any ideas on how the database can be decentralized while efficiently avoiding duplicates and spam, please do say it.

What do you mean by “lists in the code”? Which lists and do you mean by “in the code” hardcoded?

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

What? What do you mean full-fledged JSON. I won’t be storing the animes in JSON, but in a PostgreSQL DB. I don’t understand what you mean…

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, I see. Ok, I get it now. JSON indeed would be very slow for this project. I also do think of maybe caching some stuff for this reason.

Asudox,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Yep, that’s what I was thinking.
