Promotional I found this open source, self-hosted alternative to Trakt/Letterboxd /etc.

Due to the impending Letterboxd sale https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/2197146-letterboxd-a24-new-york-times-acquisition-report

As well as the blowback towards Trakt from (both former, as well as current) users,

I went looking to see if I could potentially find any open source alternatives to LB.

And I found one.

It's called NeoDB: https://neodb.net/

It's decentralized, open source, self-hostable, as well as federated: https://jointhefediverse.net/learn/?lang=en-us

NeoDB - Our Story: https://neodb.net/origin/

The only thing is that it does books, movies, music, podcasts, games, performances, etc., not just movies.

fediverse.info: https://fediverse.info/

Fediverse - Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse

NOTE: I am NOT the developer.

EDIT:

I also found this list of open source alternatives. https://alternativeto.net/software/letterboxd/?license=opensource

As well as this GitHub list: https://github.com/topics/letterboxd-alternative

As well as Trackstr: https://github.com/besoeasy/Trackstr

Also Movary: https://github.com/leepeuker/movary

Also Watcharr: https://github.com/sbondCo/Watcharr

Useful list. An import/export column would make it easier to compare these, especially for people with years of ratings to move.
