NeoDB is a review system with some remarkable tricks up its sleeve, and may provide a way forward for decentralized content discovery.

Today, we sat down and reviewed NeoDB, a Fediverse review system that lets you track books, movies, music, tv shows, games, podcasts, and more. There’s some really incredible ideas beneath the surface.

    Thanks for clearing that up 🙂 Still, migrating all your locked-in reviews or whatever to the Fediverse is a pretty big deal for compulsive opinion-havers!

      I think it’s a big opportunity that the Fediverse has largely slept on. A lot of people shrug it off, but Facebook, Instagram, Medium, and a number of other places offer an export archive of your data.

      Some of it isn’t all that usable, but there’s something extremely appealing about being able to take old parts of your social graph with you, and merge it into a new identity. A fixation I’ve had for the past few years is consolidating all of my data into one place, under one identity, and I’m exploring the possibility of writing data converters.

      Interestingly, Pixelfed allows you to import your Instagram archive, and it’s fantastic.
