Implement a system that allows you to find MAL users with the same interests as you. Or who have similar tastes in anime/manga. I believe this will make MAL a better and more friendlier community. Because of this many people will make more friends, find people with the same interests as them, etc.

There should also be a system to search certain specifics but also with the option of any. By specifics, I mean like: Gender, Anime shared percentage, Manga shared percentage, and etc.

Thank you for reading this, feel free to comment your opinion below.

I don't know if this'll work, I don't want more enemies pls.
I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons,
if you were you wouldn't be on MAL.

Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce.

The only way to grow as a person is to befriend and talk to elitist, contrarian pieces of shit who you hate. If you get a circlejerk of friends who all agree with what you have to say, where's the fun in discussing then?

There used to be a system where you could search for people with high compatibility, but at some point it became too much for the server to handle so it had to be removed. Perhaps one day it will come back in some form.

That's actually a pretty good idea but it seems like a lot of work...

That's not going to be easy for the server to maintain if it was going to return back to its natural form. Though, I do support this idea and I seem to support a low amount. Adding features that connect people with similiar tastes can only better the community and that's what everybody should be aiming for.

Another way this could be added is:

- MAL makes it so people who have an anime favorited that you do are shown somewhere on the front page of that anime. It can show their avatars in a similiar way the forum moderators get shown and will show like five people who have it on their favorites and everytime you refresh it shows a different five that have it added to their favorites?

Not sure if that could work though.

-1 This will just make MAL slower, it'll be a lot of effort to the site

+1 This is much smoother and easier, but would be a lot better if there was an option for each user (disabled by default), if it's only allowed they'll show up on the anime page, that should be enough to stop stalking.

Yea this would be cool. They could just let you search for people, and sort by the affinity.
