With IMDB forces users to sign-in to see reviews, what legitimate alternatives are there? Particularly FOSS.

    Neodb is part of the fediverse. The same family of lemmy, piefed, and mastodon etc.

        Sign up with a fedi account was nice and smooth. I got a little nervous about this option when I marked a book “read”:

        But then I scrolled over and it’s “Mentioned Only” 😄

      Are reviews federated between servers? Some servers have no reviews and some are solely in Chinese. It seems there is no federation and no auto translate?

      Otherwise the main instance seems to have a ton of reviews though if you don’t read Chinese you’re out of luck.

      You can find the occasional decent review there, but it’s mostly people trying to be funny.

      I find the imdb rating to be closer to reality for western media.

        I suppose, I guess I just dont use general reviews submitted to a site to get an idea of what a movie or show is like. I just never thought of any as worthwhile (to affect my opinions at least). IMDB is just what this post is about.

        No shade meant, at least after the fact! 😅
