A federated or FOSS variant of IMDB? (lemmy.ml)

We have bookwyrm.social, which does an excellent job at replacing the need for goodreads (which is owned by Amazon). But is there an alternative to imdb.com?

TheMovieDB and Open Movie Database are popular alternatives but not FOSS IIRC. LibreMD is a FOSS front end for IMDB.

@hitagi @krash

Thanks for sharing, it's actually Libremdb: https://github.com/zyachel/libremdb

I think recently IMDB went full evil and asking you to sign up to see episodes list of a show. This affects the front end and it can't access episode lists. I just tried it with Doctor Who

Whoops! I missed a letter. But yes that's the one.

Just checked out LibreMD on your suggestion, it’s awesome!

I think @caseyliss@mastodon.social of ATP fame is working on an iOS app for TMDB. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/accidental-tech-podcast/id617416468?i=1000607913378
