  • You need to decide on one master item where all others are to be merged into. Copy its URL.

    In the left column at the bottom is a link to edit entries. If an entry hasn’t had any reviews/comments yet, there should be a merge button at the top right (in the edit screen). Paste the URL and merge it.

    If it HAD comments/reviews, click the “Suggest edit” button and select “merge” and paste the link of the destination item. Then, it’s up to the admin to have it merged later.



  • I’m currently evaluating Kagi News. They have an RSS feed for each category, so you can define what you want to get news about. It merges the same news from multiple sources into one and gives a nice overview with links to all sources.

    And it only updates once a day which simulates getting a classic newspaper. So you don’t end up checking your newsreader all day long.







  • Yes, whenever you mark a movie or an episode as “to watch”, “watching” or “watched”, this gets published like a Mastodon post. You also have the option to automatically retoot this from your main Mastodon account. Others can follow you from Mastodon and react to your events. (For some reason, they don’t properly show up here, though.) And, of course, it all shows up for other users on NeoDB.




  • To quote myself:

    There’s just one little quirk: since this app started out in China, many actors show up with their Chinese names - but can be easily edited to their English names.

    The author of the app is Chinese (but speaks English, too).

    The actors get imported upon the very first import of a movie/show. And when a movie is imported from Douban first, the actors will all show up with their Chinese transliterations. If you import a new movie from TheMovieDB, they’ll show up with their English names. But as mentioned above, you can edit the names - which is what I usually do for US-movies. Descriptions support multi-language, though. Once an English description has been imported, it should show up for you while Chinese people will continue to see the Chinese description.

    And the more English-language users start to use NeoDB, the more initially-English content will pop up.
