Not out yet, but I will be attempting to make a federated tracking website. It might come out in a few years, so I guess look forward to it? I am still far from doing any real work, because I still need to plan how data would be retrieved and other stuff. I also plan on finishing my current projects before starting with it. If it becomes too hard to make it possible to add "plugins" so that it can be made into a track-everything tracking software, I'll make it something like MyAnimeList, but open source and federated.

Shoko sounds like something you'd like. It tracks that you watch and auto-sorts your downloads into folders that your library can easily work with. Works well with Jellyfin and Plex.
They're still not done pushing their new, actually good, version to stable, though, and the same applies to the docs related to it. So I'd recommend going with the Daily version and joining the Discord for help with getting it to work.
Janky to install every time, but it's a godsend when it works.
Trakt
I like Launchbox, but the entries are generally built around having a, uh..."digital collection".
But I like it because you don't have to worry about GameFAQs shutting down or changing what they offer. Launchbox is a desktop app (and a more-limited mobile app) that allows you to save your collection's metadata locally. Then just back it up to the cloud from there!
It also supports Steam and other digital storefronts.
Check it out! It's completely free, and optionally upgradeable with either a subscription or a lifetime purchase. Completely usable for free though.
I use Trakt, MAL and HLTB to achieve what you are looking for (I don't know what else gamefaqs delivers than HLTB, I just use the latter for adding shit to my backlog).
Hm you're right, I probably should switch from GameFAQs to HLTB, even if its just for the larger userbase, it has the options I want.
I use letterboxd for movies, Goodreads for books. Haven't found one for tv shows.
Feels like the user base has usually more refined opinions on movies, but I couldn't bring myself to use them, since I probably watch 10 shows for every movie, and fragmenting my bases further didn't feel right.

Thanks for the reply. I looked into it but it looks very niche (not bad per se, but probably not for me). Also due to some ~~Japanese~~ Chinese federation (I think) so many entries were unusable for me. I'll keep it on my radar tho
Yeah the main instance is Chinese, there are English ones but not many. It's still new.
I personally track it in a self hosted jellyseer instance, but I used to use trakt.tv
I use https://www.icheckmovies.com/ to track movies and series.
They are based on the imdb database, but I trust them way more with my data than amazon owned imdb.
Its a basic, easy to use website without any frill and extras. Made by some dutch guys to track their own movies.
To add: I use https://next-episode.net/ to check on series and new seasons, but not for tracking, but I think you could.
And anything books on Storygraph
I track my movie and TV show watchlists with trakt.tv. it's connected to my jellyfin and *arr stack.
I don't game so that's of no interest to me. I use Kavita/mylar3 for comic books, audiobookshelf/readarr and storygraph for audiobooks. for music I use last.fm, again connected to my jellyfin server (with symfonium as a client).
Oh true I use trakt.tv as middleman between two jellyfin servers to "sync" my watched state. Never looked into the rest of the website, but I should probably.
