Since you mentioned, can I ask how you use Letterboxd? Are you reading other people's reviews, primarily using it to log your own habits, or something else? I love the interface and do log my stuff, but I also find I'm just mostly following critics' whose full reviews I'll read anyway. Just curious!

I feel very lucky because I joined in 2017. I was able to log and rate most films I've seen. With that knowledge, I made a lot of lists some of which gained popularity. I started reviewing every new film I watched. I respond to all comments on my reviews and lists. Because of this, I developed a solid community whose reviews, lists, polls, and games I participate in. I pay a small amount to be a Pro member which gives me access to all my stats for each year and other coolness.
I find the film community there to be very active and engaged. But, as with all things, the experience is based on taking the time to develop relationships with those you actually enjoy interacting with.
Their notification system is such that if you like or comment on a review or list, you'll get alerted to responses which is exactly why I like forums like this one.
Feel free to check out my page there, I go by the same user name: StormofCuteness.
Thank you for sharing! It's a great point about investing time. Paying for Pro is sort of like paying to comment here, which I think is an ultimately beneficial characteristic of the community-building. You're getting the people who really care.
