I'm not sure if this is useful for anyone, as I don't know of any other hosted instance besides kitsu.io.

Also, you would have to specify your own Algolia endpoint or I would have to add a second search implementation that falls back to the Kitsu API text filter (https://kitsu.io/api/edge/anime?filter[text]=some query).

I'll leave the issue open for now until the f-droid MR is resolved. But I think it's fine if the app is flagged with NonFreeNet.

@Drumber, https://github.com/hummingbird-me/kitsu-server/issues/1425#issue-1837547986 appears to demonstrate that interest exists in self-hosting.

Yeah, I see. Apart from adding a fallback search implementation, this wouldn't be a major effort to implement. I don't want to make any false promises here, but maybe I'll take a look at this in the future.

Hopefully this will not be a problem anymore in the future as the lead developer of Kitsu is changing lots of third party stuff to use in-house alternatives (switching from elasticsearch and algolia to typesense, get-Stream for a now WIP alternative).

@shomykohai, is https://github.com/hummingbird-me/kitsu-mobile/issues/493#issuecomment-2088413141 what you're referring to?

IIRC Emma said a while ago in https://discord.com/channels/459452478673649665/459819241068167208 that she plans on replacing some stuff on the backend to cut off costs so she can pay another dev so stuff will go faster. Just have to wait for stuff like switching from json:API to graphql and revamping of the frontend to be done first surely, especially because the new mobile app as far as I know will share components and stuff like that with the web front end

yes!
