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.

    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.

        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.

        From the project’s description:

        This project aims to bring a website combining the functionality of such projects as Bookwyrm, RateYourMusic/Sonemic, IMDB and similar to the #fediverse.

          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.

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