Trakt v3 is ass, even the free tier isn't worth using anymore

The icing on the cake is them now capping your watch history. They're already selling my data, but I can't mark too many things as watched without paying? Even if all the floating tiles and sliders loaded in a way they could be seen and used, that's taking it too far. What a shit show that site has become.

Any suggestions?

What is Trakt

aeronmelon@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 136d (4 replies)

One of the sites that maintains a list of things you watched and keeps track of what you are watching.

For what reason? Not attacking, just curious of what the use case is.

New media discovery. Many people like myself use services that make it great for watching what you have but don’t really suggest new things to watch. Trakt, and other similar things, fill that gap

I was getting pretty decent recommendations for new stuff, even as the site became harder and harder to use.

Also, I would get reminded that a show came back on that I had forgotten about.

“Oh shit, the new season of X is out already?”

Like TVTime?

If you're feeling a little technical yamtrack is a pretty nice self hosted replacement.

Thanks for the heads up, I'd looked previously for a self hosted solution but missed this.

Not quite there yet. Still needs to implement ratings

I haven't tried it yet since I can't bother to switch from Trakt but I will eventually — Popfeed. It's an alternative built on ATProto, that Bluesky thing.

Stremio can also do this, plus it has bonus piracy features

MyAnimeList

Trakt is for everything, not just Anime.

They've just limited the free tier to only having 1 app connection allowed.

I'm hoping that means people start writing/changing apps that's use something else instead like simkl or wetrakr.
