I found this cool #Fediverse software called #NeoDB via @dansup 's awesome FediDB website.
https://fedidb.com/software/neodb?version=latest®istration=open
It's a tracking / shelf platform for #TV / #drama, #movies / #films, #books, and #games
Automated import from #Goodreads 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.
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.
Anyway, what if the item you want to add doesn't exist in the database yet?
Worry not! There are three ways NeoDB software populates its database.
* Method 1: You can add the details yourself
* Method 2: Search the other NeoDB instances for existing similar items
* 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
Method 2 is already sweet. That is the entire idea of the #SocialWeb. But Method 3 is even sweeter!
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 #TMDB but I'm definitely not repeating the same effort in #TVDB.
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).
Check my accounts:
* Flagship server: @youronlyone
* Instance: @youronlyone@eggplant.place
~~Hmm… I haven't checked but I think music is not supported (yet?). NeoDB can use the largest #OpenDB for music: #Musicbrainz ~~
UPDATE: Music is supported, as well as, #podcasts .

Comparing Austen & Ibsen: Women & Finance in 19th-Century Literature
"While Jane Austen’s romance often distracts us from her heroines’ realities, Henrik Ibsen stares financial oppression dead in the face and offers his heroines hope."
