Putting the article body tags in inline code didn't "deactivate" the tags on Mastodon. I guess I'll just delete the hashes. -

Oops, #NeoDB articles have a separate field for hashtags, so I assumed only tags there would "count", not also ones in the article body. Still learning.

An item like a film on #NeoDB ( #Fediverse alternative to #Letterboxd etc) can have buttons for other instances & platforms next to an item's title.
If you click on a button, it will take you to that item's page on that other site.
The Wikidata icon is special: it might take you to that item's Wikidata page, but usually it offers a list of links to that item's Wikipedia page in multiple languages.

FYI there are now several #Monsterdon collections on #NeoDB : welcome, #Letterboxd refugees!
For differentiation, mine is the one that starts with a hash. PS also added "by klu9" to its name.

You're welcome :)
You can also import people into #NeoDB !
E.g. Jami Gertz not hyperlinked on Solarbabies page
1. Copy IMDb URL for her
2. Enter it into NeoDB search box
3. Wait a bit
4. Copy the rest of the NeoDB URL after the instance: /person/3cGeIV9BvfgO9btwihvdQZ
5. Edit the Solarbabies page & paste that into the box with her name (replacing her name)
6. SaveNow her name is hyperlinked to a NeoDB page about her, not just plain text

#NeoDB (fediverse alternative to #Letterboxd etc) was started by Chinese folk & originally imported much data from Chinese sites like Douban. Which means often a media page has lots of/only Chinese
You can manually add English/other languages, but also you can import data from another source like IMDb, which will turn a lot of info into English
- Copy the IMDb (or other compatible source) URL
- Paste & enter it into the search box on NeoDB
- Wait a bit
- Media page will update -

For #Letterboxd refugees & other newcomers to #NeoDB ( #Fediverse media catalogue), a collection on NeoDB is like a list on Letterboxd or #IMDb
When you make a collection, there is no 'cover image' automatically created by NeoDB but you can add one yourself
Usually I get an image from https://openclipart.org/ & tweak it in an image editor. And I'm *terrible* at image editing 😁 If I can do it, so can you!

Hi @[email protected] @[email protected]
Re #NeoDB collections, would it be possible to let someone select a collection made by someone else as a target?

You're right, I never realized that #NeoDB collection bullseye was only shown to me. I've liked a few collections from others but never tried adding them as targets.

I created multiple #Fediverse accounts all with the same user name & avatar but sometimes I get twisted around among them all (#Mastodon x 2, #Piefed, #NeoDB, #Lemmy, #Peertube, #Sharkey, #Hubzilla, #Pixelfed)
So I'm trying out annotated avatars to help clarify which of my posts come from which of my accounts, by adding the name of instance to the image.
Finding out all systems crop, but in different ways.
That's why on this #Glitch account my avatar now says "Exquisite". Not because I think I'm exquisite 😁 but because "Exquisite.Social" gets cropped.
I had to raise the text in my #Lemmy avatar because Lemmy (or at least the Alexandrite front end I use for Lemmy) crops the icon as a circle, so text needs to be nearer the centre to not get cropped.
(And yes, the avatar quality is terrible, especially when expanded. ~2 years ago, I resumed use of a really old avatar but for which the only file I still had left was a microscopic .jpg)
Typeface: Anton SC, 16 points with 1 pixel outline.
Done in #Photopea (as the least frustrating, for amateur me, image editor on Linux)Aaaand I just remembered about "display names". Maybe I'll try that after I see how the avatar annotation goes.
