I’ve gotten a lot more into movie-watching over the past year or two, and I’m ready to move off of my Google Sheets list (I know, I know). The obvious platform is letterboxd, but is there really no established alternative in the fediverse?

It’s surprising to me that Bookwyrm enjoys moderate success, but I have not found anything for viewable media, which I would think there would be a greater audience for.

      What’s that exactly?

      A scrobbler?

          Lol it’s like a corporation joined Fediverse: “Let’s create a service that’ll do everything.” Specialization is what makes them good.

          Thx, I read the page but I didn’t know more afterwards. It has to scrobbleif it wants to be successful bit that’s not mentioned anywhere. And if it wants to become a scrobbler, then why not extending listennbrainz by the functionality it’s missing

            Idk, scrobbling just puts everything you consume on to a platform or log. That’s all fine and good but it’s not a review function as OP was asking about.

            The two can certainly work together, I just don’t see scrobbling as key to a review site or network.

              If you scrobble automatically you do not have to search for the entry once opening the service.

              It can show you what’s still not yet reviewed and more

    I’ve wondered about the same thing. Heck, somebody could fork Bookwyrm and adapt the book-centric features to film and TV production and release terms.

      It’d be interesting to see this with many things, movies, records, and comics come to mind but I’m sure there’s more.

        I could swear I found some federated wiki or similar that catalogued all sorts of objects and media, but it completely eludes me now. That could be a back end for more specialised projects.

        Edit: Apologies, I was thinking of Inventaire|github. “A libre collaborative resource mapper powered by open-knowledge, starting with books” — so the project is open to other media but focuses on books for now.
