Looking for private tracker for AV1 encodes (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

As the title says, I'm looking for a private tracker with a good sized library of 1080p AV1 encodes. I'm on LST.gg and there's a handful of uploaders and encoders there that have given me the opportunity to upgrade some of my library to AV1, but I keep hearing about how great AV1 is for anime and there isn't really any anime in AV1 there. An anime specific tracker would be great if they have a decent amount of AV1, but I'm also interested in general cartoons and live action TV/movies.

I have access to a MAM's invite forum and have a well established ratio on several trackers, so once I know where to go hopefully I'll be able to get in.

I haven't been able to make an encode (SVT-AV1) from source that doesn't obliterate the grain and texture. The output is watchable but everything looks plastic. There is a parameter for grain but I found it fairly crude.

Yea I've heard that grain synthesis can be tough to get right with AV1. I've seen people (that know much more than me) talk about ways to make it better though.

I think Av1an gets better results.

I do think that's why people like it more for cartoons and anime.
