First you needed to create an account to view reviews on their website.

As of today, the same has now been implemented for the mobile app. So far it was excluded from the enshittification but fuck IMDB and fuck Amazon who own IMDB.

What is another good movie / series review app that does not need an anal swab to look at some reviews?

      Is there a good way to move all of my shows abd movies and stuff from my Watch List to themoviedb? Does that page have that kind of thing?

    Screw that.

    I rate movies that I watch on my website with a text format I’m developing (wip). It’s my own mini IMDB.

    I’m creating parsers and compilers for the format so I just write plain, readable text, and it can be compiked to rich HTML tables with different views, DBs, etc.

        hehe. I personally really needed this. It’s just plaintext markup like calendar.txt or todo.txt

        the thing you see on my website currently is just it being rendered with markdown so it’s nothing special. But the format itself is pretty simple and self explanatory for rankings and lists.

        (Name, Director, Year)
- Inglorious Bastards - Quentin Tarantino - 2009 : 8.9/10

          Pretty simple!

          Are you deciding the order of the data in those parentheses? Like, could you change the order if you like? (Year, Director, Name)?

            Yes. You can add any custom fields to it or you can just omit the header if you want, and the list would still be fine, they would just not have names.

      Not sure federated is the way to go for this, as the matching of movies across instances might be problematic. This could depend on movie lookups from tmdb and use that id consistently, so all federated reviews land on the same movie.

      Not sure if Bookwyrm solved this for books, they seem just user-added, thus having the same issue.
