I don't know if it's better but I moved to https://app.trakt.tv/ a few weeks ago. It also has TV shows which is nice.
Trakt was really nice years ago, but ever since they redesigned the UI (and locked it behind an initial login), it's an ugly, UX-unfriendly mess that becomes harder and harder to use.
I really like its concept though, so I'm getting closer to self-hosting it (=something equivalent), and then at least everything that isn't the social aspect will work out neatly
It has worse restrictions than Letterboxd. It puts a lot of limits like you can only save 100 movies and shows combined in Watch Later or lists. It's scrobbler sync and tracking upcoming episodes are great tho. ~~Good if you can pay subscription.~~
Where did you get the 100 movies limit? I already have more than 500 movies to watch and they never tried to sell me any subscription.
I see it changed to 250 now but i don't see anything saying 500. This is the 2026 one.
Also do read the threads I linked. People are not happy. It seems to have gotten worse.
