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.

I'm reading Dune and House of Leaves right now, what books are you reading rn?

[-] pageflight@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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.
