Old, but just in case folks don’t know about this…
EDIT: I was stunned at all the upvotes this got, and from a two-year-old article to boot! I hope I didn’t do anything to overload their servers. When I posted about the Instagram/Pixelfed import tool, I was kind of surprised at how many folks that were on Lemmy didn’t already know about Pixelfed, which is why I posted this, also from We Distribute. For a long while, IIRC, the Fediverse pie chart was taken up almost entirely by Mastodon (which it probably still is) followed by a small but visible sliver of Pixelfed–Lemmy hardly registed at all. Just goes to show how fast we’ve grown!
EDIT EDIT: I see that some of you were a little bit disappointed with BookWyrm, but I hope you will stick with them because I think they can be an important member of the Fediverse. The sense that I get is that they’re stretched very thin, and could use some support, monetarily of course, but especially from other developers.
Oh, neat. I did a lot of librarian work on Goodreads over the years but I eventually wore out when I realized I was working for Amazon for free. I’ll take a look at this and see if any of the old librarian itch still needs scratching.
It uses OpenLibrary and Inventaire as it’s sourced apparently. I don’t know if it contributes upstream though.
I just wish it had a Calibre plugin, I tend to forget to update services like these and rely on syncing with calibre to do it for me.
Sweet, definitely not a type of implementation I’d expect on top of the fediverse so that makes it even cooler!
Looks super well thought out, especially love the robust import feature and federated book metadata. I’ll have to check it out sometime soon.
I’ve been meaning to check this out! It sounds so cool and possibly interacts with other fediverse things?
Thank you! I’ve seen this mentioned a couple of times and have been meaning to give it a try.
Awesome, thatnks for sharing, liked the idea of food reads but I’ve been put off by it being Amazon.
