I love the Fediverse and I love cinema 🍿, I don’t think I am the only one…
I am surprised nobody has realized a Fediverse software for movies, yet!
I am tired of IMDb, and any other alternative is centralized, proprietary software.
What I think could be done is to develop a fork of @bookwyrm@tech.lgbt with the same features, but some key differences that make it the go-to solution for tracking movies you want to watch and that you watched, as well as sharing your thoughts with your friends. I already emailed @tripofmice@friend.camp, Bookwyrm’s creator and main maintainer, about this possibility.
I am keeping notes concerning this idea in the link for the post.
Unfortunately, even though I am a Fediverse enthusiast and I cannot stop talking about it with everybody, I am no developer and I cannot practically start working on this, also because my time is too limited to work on such a software. Nevertheless, I hope writing this post could inspire somebody to code something and start a Fediverse platform for movies! 😍
Of course I am available for anything else concerning the project: website creation, marketing, bug testing and community moderation, etc.
Thanks a lot for your time!
Happy holidays,

Sure, but that would be the case if it was designed like that from the ground up, but BookWyrm’s developer didn’t and it’s understandable, so now you either fork it and make it like that or fork it and make it work specifically for whatever you want to keep track of.
Yes, true. I asked the question in a more general sense on the fedi: https://mastodon.social/@humanetech/107540889998564900
