🧩 NeoDB (original) (raw)

Overview

NeoDB is an open-source software and global community platform since 2021. It helps users to manage and explore collections, reviews, and ratings for various cultural products, including books, movies, music, podcasts, games, and performances. Additionally, users can share their collections, publish microblogs, and engage with others in the Fediverse. NeoDB integrates the functionalities of platforms like Goodreads, Letterboxd, RateYourMusic, and Podchaser, among others. It also supports self-hosting and interconnection through containerized deployment and the ActivityPub protocol.

Please find a server to register with your email, Mastodon or Bluesky ID.

Besides the web version of your chosen server, you may also use various apps to login, create new posts and manage your collections.

Host your own instance

You can install and run your own instance of NeoDB. If you would like to share your server with the public, please let us know so that we can add it to the list above.

All instances interact with each other in the Fediverse via ActivityPub, allowing you to follow users from other NeoDB instances or instances running other ActivityPub software, such as Mastodon.

API, Development and Translation

NeoDB offers APIs to manage user collections, and Mastodon client compatible API to manage user posts.
For those interested in developing for NeoDB, please refer to the development section for basic instructions to get started.
