NeoDB is both a free software and a global community. You can manage and discover collections, reviews and ratings for culture products (e.g. books, movies, music, podcasts, games and performances) in NeoDB; you can also share your collections and publish micro blogs, follow and communicate with each others in the Fediverse. You can image it as a mix of Mastodon, Goodreads, Letterboxd, RateYourMusic, Podchaser, and more.
