Terms of Use

Letterboxd updated its multiple-accounts rule. Instead of banning multiple accounts outright, it now allows a second account for a clear, legitimate purpose (like a podcast or film club) as long as it's clearly labeled, but bans using linked accounts to fake popularity through coordinated liking, following or rating.

New condition on running a second accountYou can now have a second account, but only if it's clearly labeled for its real purpose…

You can now have a second account, but only if it's clearly labeled for its real purpose and you don't use it to boost your main account's popularity. If you already run an unlabeled second account, you may need to identify it or risk violating the rules.

“provided it is clearly identifiable as such”

What you can do — If you operate a secondary Letterboxd account, make sure it's clearly labeled with its purpose (e.g. 'official podcast account') to stay compliant.
