It's really nice! Great UI, not particularly buggy, feels great on the user end. Honestly pretty darn polished for a fediverse platform I'd never heard of until like a week ago. Also, the flagship instance (where I'm at) seems to be mostly reviews in Chinese, and it's always nice to see parts of the fediverse that aren't dominated by English.
NeoDB is committed to creating a free, open, and interconnected space for collecting and reviewing books, movies, music, games, and podcasts.

That’s cool! Wonder if we can host our own instance? I would love to review those plus drinks and more

Beers and other such drinks would be awesome!

I’m still looking for a recommendation algorithm I can plug into jellyfin so I have a full automated pipeline for media.

I’ve been craving something like this as an alternative to Trakt since their latest enshittification. Are there other alternatives? Do they share protocols and whatnot like lemmy, kbin, Mastodon etc?

- LibrRte (codeberg.org/mjh/LibRate), implement ActivityPub. Development in halt.
- Kitsu (github.com/hummingbird-me), specialized for anime and manga database. Not implementing ActivityPub sadly.
- Visual Novel Database (VNDB, vndb.org) has open source their site: code.blicky.net/yorhel/vndb While its system is mainly focused for visual novel (like heavy tagging and character database), it has the most advance release version compared to any other kind of database. Might be useful for making version database of movies, books, or any other media. No decentralization.
- AniList (anilist.co), anime and manga only with heavy social features. Has promise to open source their project. No ActivityPub yet, but has possibility.

How does this compare to Bookwyrm, or say Trakt?
MxRemy@piefed.social 3 months ago
Having used BookWyrm and NeoDB, it's definitely very comparable to GoodReads vs IMDB, at least in terms of interface/user experience/aesthetics/etc. BookWyrm being specifically for books, it has a ton of fields that wouldn't be applicable to anything else, i.e. "publisher", " ISBN". It can pull data automatically from some outside book databases. NeoDB seems able to do that same thing, except for any kind of media. Not sure where all they're pulling the data from. They also seem to have fields for just about anything, from tracklist to director to author.

NeoDB has feature for exporting data from external database.
Here’s the list:
- IMDB
- The Movie Database
- Douban (Chinese film, books, music, recent events, and activities tracker)
- Google Books
- Discogs
- Spotify
- Apple Music
- Bandcamp
- Steam
- IGDB
- Bangumi (Chinese animation, comic, games, live action, and music database/tracker)
- Board Game Geek
- Archive of Our Own
- any RSS link to a podcast

I love bookwyrm. Great stack and good people.

I was disappointed to learn there was no fediverse Tmbd/Imdb alternative. This looks like it had the potential to become that, among many things
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 months ago
The IMDb was open until someone just grabbed the whole thing and turned it into a website.

This is awesome, I’ve been looking for a goodreads alternative. Not sure between this and bookwyrm. Both are awesome.

Just for unique info:
NeoDB is primarily a Bangumi-clone. Bangumi (bangumi.tv) is Chinese multimedia tracker, with five categorization: animation, comics, games, music, and live action.
Their community is really dedicated to maintain the most correct information, even having unique metadata that English database does not have them, like manga magazine serizalisation with exact volume and date.

Here’s hoping this becomes a proper english version with the same dedication as the original. Think a lot of people could appreciase something like this.
