Naughty naughty! Look, I like what you are doing but you should be aware if you aren’t already that you are posting copywritten material.

These works go into the public domain in 2035, meaning at that time you can distribute the whole work as a PDF or whatever for free. Until then, what you are doing isn’t considered “fair use” unless it is transformative and/or something like 70% of the original work has been altered.
Doubtful that anyone will crack down on you here but mods may not like it and since this is text it is trivially easy for publishers to search and submit DMCA takedown requests. If the instance owners get one they will not be on your side - to keep the instance they will need to remove these posts.
Anyway, good luck either way. If you wanted to review the book and provide excepts that would be transformative and fair use (which is why reaction videos of copywritten content is or almost is fair use). But this doesn’t seem to be your goal so I wish you well.

It was copyrighted at one time…
These works go into the public domain in 2035,
Are you sure about that? Do you know about Europe’s copyright dates? And further, are you basing that on 1939 copyright date… when I’m posting content from a decade earlier, 1928?
I posted the link which contains all the questions you’re asking including information on other countries. That link says that finnegans wake goes into public domain 2035.
I am not advocating for this copyright system and I can only speak for what I know from US law but in the US publishers have been pushing public domain release dates further and further. Disney is probably the worst offender, as they have pushed to have copyright extended for 70 years after walt Disney’s death.
I wouldn’t pose myself as an expert in Europe’s copyright law but again the link from the james joyce foundation states when this work goes into public domain.
This is the org that would need to send a takedown notice to get this content removed, and this is what they are claiming.
European Union, United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland
All editions of Joyce’s works published during his lifetime are in the public domain in these countries. An exception appears to be Spain, which has a copyright term of the author’s life plus 80 years. Joyce’s lifetime-published works will remain in copyright there until the end of 2021.
The issue for instance owners and for you is that there isn’t an easy way to gate this content to only those countries. It’s usually easier just to remove it.
Does archive.org have the book? You could probably post those links, and let archive.org take the heat. They currently are arguing that they are a library and should be allowed to distribute these works. No idea how well that will go but instance owners probably wouldn’t care about links to an archive.org page.
Looks like they do.
I see you seek this kind of participation out. “On the internet, not everyone knows you’re an idiot.” being your profile statement. And that I’m not the first Lemmy community you have come along to concerning your copyright topics. Are you being paid by copyright holders to do this or something? Is it is some project or business to make USA copyright convention a world wide standard, ignoring that even in Joyce’s home focus of Ireland the work is no longer copyrighted?
Going around openly saying you are out to demonstrate other people are idiots… I think is a pretty well paved path to try and drag down societies in total.
“The chief deficiency I see in the skeptical movement is its polarization: Us vs. Them — the sense that we have a monopoly on the truth; that those other people who believe in all these stupid doctrines are morons; that if you’re sensible, you’ll listen to us; and if not, to hell with you. This is nonconstructive. It does not get our message across. It condemns us to permanent minority status.”
