Community-like features (lists, comments etc.)

[stripedew]

I want to preface that I know this idea is fully beyond the scope of Yamtrack as a self-hosted project for tracking your own media libraries, would be quite a huge undertaking and would carry ongoing costs with hosting publicly available data. Maybe this is something that could be explored as a side-project/integration by someone else (I might have a look at it myself). This is mostly purely thinking out loud, rather than suggesting this as a feature.

By far the best features of Trakt for me was lists, comments and similar community-powered things. Being able to find people with similar taste and seeing what else they liked, or seeing short comments/reviews was the best way for me to figure out whether something was worth watching. Can give a lot more context beyond a simple star rating. Yamtrack is already fantastic at keeping track of what I'm already watching/reading/playing, it would be fantastic to have some capability to discover new content beyond just relying on automated recommendations. SIMKL exists too, I know, but I find it super bloated and the UI/UX is pretty awful.

I wouldn't expect anyone to develop a fully featured community backend system, moreso a glorified API comments + lists system. We already have lists and reviews/comments we can leave on media in Yamtrack, and an export feature - I'm wondering how feasible it would be to expand a bit on these to allow more selective exports that could be formatted into outbound API calls.

I've got some ideas in my head how this could work from the perspective of the external database hosting the reviews/lists, just wondering if this is something other people are interested in and the Yamtrack project would want to support at all.
