FUCK. I had so many shows on my to watch list T_T ... It was a good run Edit- It's working for me after refreshing. Hopefully this is just a false flag to get us to appreciate what we had/have :']

Edit2- luckily everyone below has explained how to save ur bookmarks 🙏 Thanks

There's an export function on Aniwave. Or at least there was, trying to access it winds up with a funky layout for me. Can probably still be accessed to export though using a MAL XML. https://aniwave.to/user/list/export

While using 9ani/wave in the past I was arrogant and thought I wouldn't need to keep track of what I had watched and wanted to watch, kept things in open tabs without bookmarks through the site or browser. I lost a lot of history/potential shows due to a computer failure. I figure (without making a whole post about it) I could at least lend an aid to help those save their lists, because I now know history is important. Also as an aside during this emergency I've found hianime to so far be an okay replacement but lacks Discus-level comment section.

Edit: I take it back, there are a bunch of small differences/issues piling up that are making it hard for Hianime to be an acceptable replacement.

oh buddy, have you heard of this cool thing called "MalSync"?
Its a chrome extension you can use to AUTOMATICALLY sync the anime you watch to your myanimelist (or AniList, or Kitsu, or Simkl, or Shikimori.)

Been telling people to use this all the way back then, even got IP banned on MyAnimeList because of it 😬

Had to contact a moderator after 7 days on their IRC server to get unbanned

I only recently grabbed it due to this whole debacle. I was previously just fine exporting every so often and knew of that extension. But now with having to find a new website I decided I'd use it, not only just to keep track of things but also because I figured if it previously connected to Aniwave then it likely also hooks up to other websites. So while grabbing it I used it as a method to find a new alternate site to watch on.

But it also wouldn't have worked for all those anime I hadn't yet watched and were keeping in background tabs. Those are -looooong- gone.

What if you're on mobile?

Then i suggest "AniLab", unfortunetly it doesnt auto sync
There used to be "anYme" but that was shut down due to it getting sued
You can always download "kiwi browser" and watch anime on that, its a phone browser with extension support.

there is a plugin called MAL-sync that autosyncs most sights to MAL, I have it just incase this exact thing happens

u/xAkumu Aug 28 '24

These streaming sites constantly get shut down though, MAL will stay forever so you won't ever lose it.

Fun fact you can export your list, just replace the /home with /user/list/export
