<p>I found this cool <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> software called <a href="/tags/neodb/" rel="tag">#NeoDB</a> via <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dansup" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>dansup</span></a></span> 's awesome FediDB website.</p><p><a href="https://fedidb.com/software/neodb?version=latest&registration=open" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="fedidb.com/software/neodb?version=latest&registration=open"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fedidb.com/software/neodb?vers</span><span class="invisible">ion=latest&registration=open</span></a></p><p>It's a tracking / shelf platform for <a href="/tags/tv/" rel="tag">#TV</a> / <a href="/tags/drama/" rel="tag">#drama</a>, <a href="/tags/movies/" rel="tag">#movies</a> / <a href="/tags/films/" rel="tag">#films</a>, <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a>, and <a href="/tags/games/" rel="tag">#games</a> </p><p>Automated import from <a href="/tags/goodreads/" rel="tag">#Goodreads</a> work well. Just provide the required URL and voila. If it doesn't appear immediately, it is probably waiting for server workers or waiting for the server load to lower or Goodreads request limit, just be patient, only submit the same URL once! If in doubt, contact the admins instead of resubmitting.</p><p>Unfortunately, the software doesn't support import (automated, API, or manual) from Trakt, SIMKL, MyAnimeList, and other popular tracking/shelf services for TV/drama and movies/films. There is one, Douban or something, which I think is popular in the Chinese and Japanese speaking markets.</p><p>Anyway, what if the item you want to add doesn't exist in the database yet?</p><p>Worry not! There are three ways NeoDB software populates its database.</p><p>* Method 1: You can add the details yourself</p><p>* Method 2: Search the other NeoDB instances for existing similar items</p><p>* Method 3: Search for the item from TMDB, IMDB, IGDB, Steam, Goodreads, and other supported sites (no TVDB), and paste the URL to NeoDB's search box and it will import it to your instance</p><p>Method 2 is already sweet. That is the entire idea of the <a href="/tags/socialweb/" rel="tag">#SocialWeb</a>. But Method 3 is even sweeter!</p><p>Methods 2 and 3 are the best because it's a win-win for everyone. Regular users can forget about manually re-entering new data. Seriously, who wants to manually duplicate data from one DB to another? I certainly don't! I contribute to <a href="/tags/tmdb/" rel="tag">#TMDB</a> but I'm definitely not repeating the same effort in <a href="/tags/tvdb/" rel="tag">#TVDB</a>.</p><p>Secondly, there's no need for instances to duplicate large databases just to ensure their site is useful for any user. Items are added as local users interact with the items. It keeps the db small instead of having thousands of items no one has interacted to yet (or probably not).</p><p>Check my accounts:</p><p>* Flagship server: <span class="h-card"><a href="/@youronlyone@neodb.social/" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>youronlyone</span></a></span> <br>* Instance: <span class="h-card"><a href="https://eggplant.place/@youronlyone/" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>youronlyone@eggplant.place</span></a></span> </p><p>~~Hmm… I haven't checked but I think music is not supported (yet?). NeoDB can use the largest <a href="/tags/opendb/" rel="tag">#OpenDB</a> for music: <a href="/tags/musicbrainz/" rel="tag">#Musicbrainz</a> ~~</p><p>UPDATE: Music is supported, as well as, <a href="/tags/podcasts/" rel="tag">#podcasts</a> .</p><p>🖖🏽🙇🏽</p>

<p>finished watching <a href="https://neodb.social/search?r=1&q=https://neodb.social/movie/2f1AE67H24Ut66pl9DXeTs" rel="nofollow">Novocaine</a> 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑 <br>Are <a href="/tags/cipa/" rel="tag">#CIPA</a> movies a thing? I learned it existed thanks to an episode of House (I owe that show most of my medical "knowledge") Years later I watched that little movie where the protagonist is an assassin insensitive to pain, The Midnight Man (2016) <a href="https://neodb.social/movie/0VkEK52ooUYWCGksk08HyL" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="neodb.social/movie/0VkEK52ooUYWCGksk08HyL"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">neodb.social/movie/0VkEK52ooUY</span><span class="invisible">WCGksk08HyL</span></a> Now there's Novocaine too, that I know of. CIPA keeps coming up on my screen without me having ever looked for it.<br> <br>I'm wondering if these shows help by raising awareness of a rare disorder, I did read a couple of articles after I watched House, so it kind of worked for me, I'm aware. Maybe some public interest could even get studies funded... or maybe this kind of thing (not talking about Novocaine in particular) is just a bit exploitative and doesn't help any patients at all.</p><p>Opinions welcome.</p><p><a href="/tags/hsaniv/" rel="tag">#HSANIV</a> <a href="/tags/films/" rel="tag">#films</a> <a href="/tags/tv/" rel="tag">#tv</a> <a href="/tags/spoonies/" rel="tag">#spoonies</a> <a href="/tags/polyneuropathy/" rel="tag">#polyneuropathy</a> <a href="/tags/awareness/" rel="tag">#awareness</a> <a href="/tags/health/" rel="tag">#health</a> <a href="/tags/media/" rel="tag">#media</a></p><p><a href="/tags/ersneodb/" rel="tag">#ERSneodb</a></p>

This is the list for 2025.

<p>Question - good films you have watched once and occasionally go to watch again and then think “Christ, I can’t put myself through that again” - I will start with Manchester by the Sea <a href="/tags/cinema/" rel="tag">#cinema</a> <a href="/tags/films/" rel="tag">#films</a> <a href="/tags/movies/" rel="tag">#movies</a></p>
<p>Tomorrow, October 1st, 2025 I'm starting the first edition of <a href="/tags/kaijuktober/" rel="tag">#Kaijuktober</a> <a href="/tags/film/" rel="tag">#Film</a> Festival (<a href="/tags/kff/" rel="tag">#KFF</a>)! During October, I'll be watching one <a href="/tags/kaiju/" rel="tag">#kaiju</a> <a href="/tags/movie/" rel="tag">#movie</a> every day. My plan for this year is to watch every movie from the <a href="/tags/toho/" rel="tag">#Toho</a> <a href="/tags/showa/" rel="tag">#Showa</a> era — around 25 movies.

<p>At the start of the year, I began a list of all the <a href="/tags/movies/" rel="tag">#movies</a> I’ve watched in 2025. I realised I have a huge list of <a href="/tags/films/" rel="tag">#films</a> I want to watch, but I just stumble through the medium at random, paying little attention to them as they go by. I hoped this list might change that. In reverse chronological order, here are my thoughts on each:</p><p><a href="/tags/2025inmovies/" rel="tag">#2025InMovies</a>… (1/36)</p>
