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.

Transcoding a lossy format like H.264 or VP9 to AV1 will reduce the quality.

Not by much and it can save a bunch of space depending on what you're working with. Works well with modern anime. Squashing a h264 60GB anime to <10GB with minimal quality loss is pretty satisfying.
