Hello Lemmings.

I will be attempting to make a federated anime tracker this summer, but I am not quite sure what features people would want and how I would get the details for animes, mangas, etc.

For the latter: What I thought was to either scrape other anime websites continuosly in the background, but this most likely is against the ToS of every anime tracking website, such as AniList or MAL. (I actually asked anidb.net for special access to their DB because apparently you can request access to it, but I've been left on read by the two staff members) My second idea was to make it an anime tracker website where animes are only user-submitted. And the user submissions would be approved by assigned moderators. However, I think this would be quite inconvenient. I'd like to get your opinions and/or ideas for this.

For the former: So if you have any requests or suggestions, please drop it down in the comments section.

Thanks in advance.

What would the point of making it federated?

[-] Asudox@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

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.

Ah, so it's not just a tracker

I mean, it's a tracker with forums.
