With today’s news of Letterboxd being acquired by an investment company, I got to wondering if I should start weaning my movie obsession off of there and onto something more open before the inevitable enshittification begins. I did a cursory search and found nothing promising, but figured the braintrust here might know something I don’t!
I’ve been looking for something like this for a while !! There’s some self hosted solutions alternatives for trakt, but I don’t want the hassle… A fedi letterbox like would be really amazing! (Imagine integrating it with Jellyfin to rate your films after watching, sharing those reviews and film lists on mastodon, pixelfed and Lemmy, a dream would come true)
I’m also really interested in something like this. 👀
I think the closest you’ll get to an “open” platform right now is the community-maintained https://www.themoviedb.org/. Their API is also free for non-commercial use.
What does letterboxd do?
Essentially GoodReads/BookWyrm but for movies instead of books.
Is that like https://criticker.com ? I adore that website, it gives me great recommendations and drilling down into their film database with filters is great.
If you like it, they gave a thing to accept donations to keep it running too :-)

Maybe that new application Ticketbooth with TMDB integration and a Trakt like connection would work. I would love that.
