I recently discovered Bookwyrm and am really liking it. It’s not quite as full-featured as The Storygraph or Goodreads but it covers all of the most important functionalities and it’s federated which I appreciate. Something that it is missing Vs either The Storygraph or Goodreads at the moment is volume of reviews (ie. Volume of users.) However, your review won’t get lost in the sea so much and I’ve found that it’s been quite easy to find readers with similar interests.
Anyway, who here is using Bookwyrm? What’s your account so we can all follow each other? (Mine is Unfreeze4257@books.theunseen)
I used it for a bit and supported it when it came out but it was super slow. I moved to StoryGraph. Are people liking it? Is it slow? Maybe I will give it another go.
Cool, yeah I logged into my account. This is my user https://bookwyrm.social/user/tulkaa I tend to read shorter fiction and philosophy with a mix of fantasy. Need to port some reviews and books from StoryGraph for the last year or so.
Wow I was looking for a goodreads alternative. This one seems perfect ! I’m creating my account now : https://bookwyrm.social/user/fnzqkrgmm I’m reading SF and Fantasy
I’ve had a Bookwyrm account for about a year - I mainly read fantasy fiction. It’s at @chris (https://wyrms.de/@chris)
I originally posted this from Mastodon but it doesn’t appear to have federated properly, so apologies if this is a duplicate!
I was just getting set up with storygraph but will look into this instead ty!
Ah cool, I was thinking of building something like this. Saves me the trouble! Just made an account here: https://bookwyrm.social/user/antonyf
