My problem with them is this and YouTube's aggressive pushing of them in general and in the wrong places, like any device with a horizontal display (like when using a PC/laptop).
In my opinion vertical videos are better viewed on a vertical display (like a phone) and nowhere else, because everywhere else they look worse. Now that I'm thinking more of this though...I should see if any shmup people are showing off via shorts, 'cause that'd be a good fit.
Also if it's not that, it may be related to account language settings. Same deal, go into settings under profile/account and check that you have undetermined selected along with any other languages you want to be able to see.
Edit:Almost forgot, to select multiple languages you'll have to hold Ctrl and click each one in the Web UI (I think probably Photon as well).
This is funny and cool! I like the tiled/grid view even more after giving the demo a look. Not sure why but the instance sidebar as shown in the screenshot isn't displaying in the demo on my end (Firefox), but probably related to being a weekend whip-up.
Still with the spirit of this as you mention in another comment, would love to see more experimental and strange frontends. It'd be fun to see more of the different Lemmy instances/sites with unique looks to distinguish themselves.
However there are a few alternatives to look into that, while not matching the scale of their library, still have enough to consider.
For older anime there's Retrocrush, which offers a fair amount of shows to watch for free (but with ads), no account required. Some are only accessible with an account and via subscription, however.
Interestingly though, some of those shows are available on other services no subscription required, like Tubi or Pluto.
Speaking of, it turns out Crunchyroll apparently cut a deal with Pluto, so there's a Crunchyroll channel on there where you can catch some of their anime freely (again, with ads though). Besides that there's also a separate anime channel and a few dedicated marathon channels to more popular series like Naruto, One Piece, Sailor Moon, etc.
There's also lower amounts still to be found on the other general streaming services like Netflix or Hulu, but it obviously doesn't fully compare.
Also while not newer and their library is way smaller, for some anime movies you might see if your local libraries offer digital services like Hoopla or Kanopy. With those you may be able to check out some great anime movies.
I checked on a different up to date instance (lemm.ee) knowing that, and confirmed it was federated with the relevant community, but didn't see those results.
Strangely enough I can't replicate similar results searching lemmy.ml either, so not sure what's going on. 🤔
Regarding community search, sorry for the lack of clarity. I dropped a clear example when revising, I was referring to searching for a community by the form "videos@\sopuli.xyz", note the missing ! from the start.
The tricky part is, the group-supporting fediverse software and the microblogging software need to improve how they interact for this to be as good as it could be.
Right now Mastodon barely supports group users/actors/accounts, however they're called, translating stuff from Lemmy's format in a rather clunky way. Meanwhile Lemmy also has to roughly translate Mastodon's format to its own, working pretty well all things considering, but leaving clear artifacts (subject line/first line repeating, community mention remaining shown, etc.).
Feel this as I semi-void post about some of the shows I've watched in !showsandmovies@lemm.ee. Trying to let people know there's someone else around here watching Japanese and Korean shows.
Was thinking the same and you can.
