  • I set up a collection: 1990s High-Concept Action Films
  • I turned on Collaborative editing

  • But my local mutual (we're both on eggplant.place & I confirmed on my account page that we're mutuals) cannot see any Edit button on the collection page, nor can they add a film to the collection via the film's page.

Anyone know how a local mutual can add to/edit a collection? Thanks.

I've made collections on Eggplant.place, but can't find them on neodb.social. E.g. Eggplant.place - #Monsterdon collection

Things I've tried:

  • Search NeoDB.social for collection's name (including hash symbol if part of name), e.g. #Monsterdon (0 results)
  • Search for collection's name (excluding hash symbol if part of name), e.g. Monsterdon (lots of irrelevant results)
  • Search for collection's name (excluding hash symbol if part of name) with quote marks around the name, e.g. "Monsterdon" (same irrelevant results as above)
  • Search for alphanumeric string at end of collection's Eggplant.place URL, e.g. 6ICD4rDFsYEIcTpY8UTpdk (5 irrelevant results)
  • Search for complete collection URL, e.g. https://eggplant.place/collection/6ICD4rDFsYEIcTpY8UTpdk ("Unable to fetch..." on 1st try, "System busy" on following tries)
  • Go to NeoDB.social page of an item that is in a collection on Eggplant.place & look at the Related Collections section, e.g. Son of Dracula (1943)

In that last case, the #Monsterdon collection is not mentioned on the item's NeoDB.social page, and the "watchlist_extended" collection on NeoDB.social is not listed on its Eggplant.place page

I even tried a tag search (tag:Monsterdon), although as far as I can tell, you can't give a collection tags. (That search resulted in multiple items tagged Monsterdon but not the #Monsterdon collection itself.)

Is there any way to view collections made on one instance on another?

Example: I want to add the 1962 film キングコング対ゴジラ (English title: King Kong vs Godzilla ) to my wishlist & to a Godzilla collection.

Searching for "キングコング対ゴジラ" returns at least 4 entries for that film (in screenshot: 1st, 2nd & 4th. Another off screen.)

Screenshot of NeoDB (eggplant.place) top 4 search results for "King Kong vs Godzilla"

  • Do I pick one? If so, which?
  • Or do I merge them? If so, some of them or all of them?
  • How do I merge entries?
