I did it again… started another Fediverse service, this time a Bookwyrm instance.
I used Goodreads, but if there’s a Federated alternative, why not use that… So I setup a server and opened registrations.
Enjoy, and please let me know if you find anything that can be improved or changed.

this is pretty cool, but I never understood the appeal of “hey guys im reading this book”
I just subject that to the first person I talk to at work instead lol
this is pretty cool, but I never understood the appeal of “hey guys im reading this book”
It’s more like:
You: Hey guys im reading this book
Random Guy: Hey! I’m currently reading this book as well!
You: Cool! Let me check out what else you like!
And that’s how you find your book people and with them a stack of unread but cool books you need to work through.
I’m reading Dune and House of Leaves right now, what books are you reading rn?
Martha Wells. Finished the Murderbot series, wrapping up the Raksura. All very much of the same cloth, but I enjoy it.
Also recently discovered Naomi Novik’s Scholomance trilogy, I had only read her Temeraire books before.
Oh thats what it for. I just read reviews
I just use services like that for reviews and tracking what I have already read.

I read several books a month. It’s never occurred to me to mention what book I’m reading to anyone, ever.
Why not lol, is it not a big part of your day or personality? Why not let them get to know you a bit more
I use it pretty heavily for tracking books that I want to read in the future. I follow multiple people who share similar tastes to me, and so I’m able to find a lot of really awesome books just by seeing what they’re reading.
I really need to ditch Goodreads and get into Bookwyrm. :)
Nice, as always, thanks for your work!
TIL about Bookwyrm very cool!
Thats awesome, I hope someone makes the feature to allow manga

I just created an account there and when it came time to add books, a whole bunch of books I read didn’t even show up. I’ll have to look more into it when I have more time.
Who are some people to follow on Bookwyrm?
I use it. It’s great for seeing your progress of reading a book over time. I update the # of pages I read for every book and the dates show me my pace.
