Are there many people here on Trakt, or does everyone lean towards Letterboxd, or some other social media site for movie nerds?

I have a Trakt account, but only because Kodi uses it to keep lists of what you've watched and what shows you're following. I haven't checked out any of its other features.

I use Trakt. Not so much for keeping track of my ratings, but to track the items on my watchlist that the Apple TV queue doesn't cover.

I wouldn't have seen half the movies I have if it weren't for letterboxd. The lists and the community are fantastic, and I've been enjoying keeping a log of the movies I watch, because my memory can be horrible and I watch a lot of movies. I think it takes a little tweaking, and a little work to really get the best out of it (browser extensions, following good thoughtful critics), but it's been the core of my movie-watching experience for a long time now.

Trakt however, I've tried a few times (mostly because I've tried to use its API for a few things), but I don't watch a lot of TV, its interface is so loud and cluttered compared to letterboxd, and the reviews are mostly unserious. I've never found it to be a big help.
