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

      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 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.

    I use Storygraph instead of GoodReads. Open source projects have something against recommendation algorithms and that’s the only reason I would rate what I read on a website.
