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)

      This is what I’m wondering! Would be cool to at least see comments or updates based on books or authors I care about on kbin, maybe?

    I’ve been using it mainly as a way of keeping track of what I read. I guess I could use a text file, but it’s nice to be able to see it from my phone or share it.

    Using it. Again to track what I read and motivate for x amount of books per year.

    Would be a fan of the discovery section more if I could filter out quotes and notifications about start reading and just have the reviews.

      I agree that would be a great feature. Dunno if it’s exclusive to my instance but Discovery also doesn’t have an option for global notifications (it’s just the local one) which is a bit limiting since my instance isn’t that big.
