I was curious, does anyone know if there is a Fediverse alternative to sites like IMDb or TMDB/TheTVDB—something that allows users to discover, review, and discuss movies and TV shows in a decentralized way.

I know about Moviewyrm, which is a concept of a potential fork of Bookwyrm.

While it’s a great start, it is just the concept of a potential platform.

If there isn’t one, then has anyone ever considered building a more robust movie/TV platform for the Fediverse?

Or better yet, is something already in the works that I might have missed?

I’d love to see a project like this come to life, but unfortunately, I lack the knowledge, time, and energy to start it myself.

However, I’d be really interested in discussions or ideas for how such a platform could be built.

    It isn’t federated but I use Trakt to manage watch lists and scrobble my viewing history from Plex. There are some discovery features and a minor social aspect.

      Careful there, unfortunately it doesn’t have any way to sync or export your data into other services.

        They have an API available so I could siphon off my data if I wanted to but then I would need to build something like it to use said data in. I’m good.
