Bilibili (哔哩哔哩), affectionately known as the B-site (B站), is a Chinese video hosting website, originally catering to the otaku community. It has also expanded into other ventures.
Videos have danmaku-style comments (弹幕) in the style of Niconico, as well as "normal" video discussion (评论).
Videos IDs formerly were numeric and began with "av". In 2020, they were replaced by an "BV" identifier that was swiftly identified as an obfuscated base58 system. Videos up to av99999999 were sequential, and videos IDs after that (if converted to av-format) are random.[1]
Videos can have multiple authors attached alongside the uploader (创作团队 production team), as well as the role of each author, such as 【洛天依原创曲】夏虫【2021官方生贺曲】 which has 7 authors (uploader; composer; lyricist; tuner; animator; planner; planner).
Some videos appear to be region-limited, such as 洛天依&方锦龙《茉莉花》破次元合作【bilibili晚会单品】 which appears in the suggested column of https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1wU4y1F7XL/ but behaves as a deleted video for this writer.
Videos may belong by default to playlists, such as 【洛天依原创曲】月华舞【2023官方生贺曲】 which belongs to "洛天依11周年生日会" as shown on the right-hand side.
Videos may be a collection of sub-videos (P1, P2, ...) (视频选集), such as 中国音乐地图之听见广西 侗族大歌 which contains 25 videos for a total length of 01:12:28 as advertised in the thumbnail. They can be individually commented on (弹幕), but cannot be individually discussed (评论).
Videos can belong to "festivals", in which case the default URL will be redirected to a special URL, such as https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Lm41197Rw/ → https://www.bilibili.com/festival/VSF2024live?bvid=BV1Lm41197Rw
Channels can issue posts (动态 activity), similar to YouTube community posts.
Users can also post audio (音频) and articles.
