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”

    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.

        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.
