Sorry for being ignorant but what exactly is hummingbird.me ? I visited the site awhile ago because MAL was down , I made my account and checked the whole site . Is hummingbird same as MAL ?

I even saw one thread from their forum saying "mal is dead for the time being let's get mal users to complain on our forums" blah blah something like that . Is the site good ?

*speaking as a mod*

It's an awful competitor site that used underhanded tactics to get its anime database list, accompanied with a nonexistent staff that goof off all day.

Hummingbird's another anime listing site, similar to MAL.

Actually, I learned about the site through plug.dj. The community is nice (from how we all talked to each other). Hummingbird is still under construction and new so I have no right to judge it yet. But seeing from their anime storing system, I still prefer MAL. The feature I like the most is the Waifu/Husbando status haha.

I'd say it has a more involved community(it having a dashboard and a follow system). But it crashes all the time, and the database is really incomplete.

I'm just checking it out now for the first time. It seems like everything is taking forever to load, though not sure if that's the website or my computer's fault. I like how it has a feed page to allow more personal social interaction. It makes me wonder if you would get updates from others as there's a "followers" tabs. I'm disappointed that there's no manga list... and really, navigating it right now... this thing takes forever to load o.O

This is only what I've noticed in 10 minutes of fiddling around with it. I find MAL easier to navigate, and less visually drab in some ways.

It's not your computer , it's the sites problem . I also encountered that problem when trying to check the website , it takes forever to load and crashes all the time. So yeah , I am really convinced that their site sucks

Yeah, it really does take a while to load. The forums don't seem too easy to navigate either, but I'm not used to them like I am to the forums here. Though it also wouldn't import over a dozen on my list, is it really that incomplete? At least I could get the username I normally use (had to change it a bit for this site).

All together it doesn't seem like a bad site, just a matter of preference... and apparently, patience?

It still is that way and even worse. Now they ban you for not accepting other people's opinions, and if you have a different one it's the same shit, you'll still get banned.

And yeah, the forums are slow, there's infinite scrolling (wtf) and overall, it's big, bulky and really ugly.

After spending a week there I can safely say it's even more unstable than MAL, both the forum and the main page. Down mutiple times a day, or very slow at best, lacking a lot of essential features and having that modern layout that I hate, especially for the forum. All that combines to a not very pleasant experience. Also the userbase didn't seem as nice as people always say. The nicest people were those I knew from MAL and seeing some episode threads only consisting of 'I hate this episode' and then screenshots of MAL episode discussion threads collecting people who have to say something positive about the episode with a snarky comment like 'typical MAL' at the end. I swear that one discussion thread consisted of nothing else but people who hated the episode and made fun of anyone on MAL who said something positive about it xD.
So yeah, I guess I'll keep my list updated in case I get banned again for something ridiculous, but I tried keeping forum activity up but the downtimes and slow loading just makes me angry so I'll close the tabs for good.
I probably regret this post by now.

After spending about 10 months on the site I feel for the most part it puts MAL to shame. The layout is far better and is doesn't look like it was made in the 90's. I also like the fact that I can import my MAL list.The people seem to be nicer and forms seem to have FAR more interesting discussions. The only things I don't like are the lack of features that MAL has like Manga tracking, character info, LN tracking,ect...But I do like the recommendation page that they have and its easier to find out about the new anime that air's each season. They also track anime influenced shows like avatar, RWBY, and code lyoko. And you can have more than 5 favorites on HB. A minor feature that they also have is the waifu system and the update anime fearure. But at the end of the day MAL at the moment is still better solely based on the fact that MAL is a finished site & HB is still a work in progress. But if they add in the features they are missing soon I may have to say goodbye to MAL. But until then I will continue to use both.

Really? One day ago.
I would post more but there are not that many interesting treads anymore.

MAL has like 1,000 more anime than them though.

There will be a limit one day especially when and if they get manga, characters, people, etc.

If you're talking minor features then how about the ability to add more info when you add an anime, the ability to customize anime lists, anime have their own boards, better news, blogs, customizable about me, etc.

I'll probably posted in this thread before but...

Design's pretty but not efficient at all. Too oversized and graphic-based for me. I like MAL's more text and table-based design. MAL is also sleek and can fit more on a screen. Also, yeah MAL has more stuff.

But MAL only tracks anime. Plus MAL is a finished (yet very outdated) site while HB is not.

On one hand the modern design is nice but on the other hand I'd trade that for MAL's faster loading times. Also reviews seem sparse (in content and helpfulness), less useful features, etc. Some issues will be resolved as more people use it but... for now not having manga is a dealbreaker for me.

Also when I click anime titles and cover art nothing happens? Had to click and drag stuff into my browser tabs.

Anyone know the size of Hummingbird's userbase?
