Where are my shared Photos albums on MacBook after Ventura?

I am using a MacBook Pro 2016 with an Apple M1 chip. I updated to Ventura and am running 13.0.1. I went into my Photos app and there are no Shared Albums! They are on my iPhone and on my iPad but NOT my MacBook Pro! I had no problems before with Monterrey.

I am NOT interested in a Shared Photos Library. I just want my Shared Albums back!

Anyone else have this problem. Any suggestions? Thank you!!

I have iCloud enabled everywhere. And it is the Photo System Library.

And have you also enabled the Shared Albums in the Photos > Settings > iCloud?

For me, the Shared albums are shown in Photos in the sidebar, below "Media Types". But it took a few days for them to reappear:

I do have Shared Albums checked.

And my daughter just shared an album so I have one.

My daughter just shared the Yiayia album a few minutes ago and it is also showing up on my iPhone and iPad. But the other 90 Shared Albums are not showing up on my Mac
