For those who don't know, Bookwyrm is basically a better, federated Goodreads. Because it speaks ActivityPub, you can subscribe to someone's Bookwyrm feed from directly in Mastodon and see the book reviews they post!

joinbookwyrm.com/

Also there are 2 spots remaining in the Bookwyrm patreon to pay $40/mo and support the project in a huge way *and* have @tripofmice run a server for you and 50 of your bookwormiest friends: patreon.com/bookwyrm

@darius @tripofmice I’m excited to look into this. I love Goodreads, but you know… Amazon.

@tripofmice @darius I’m loving #fediverse. I wish I found all of these sites earlier!

And if you found really awesome books there, keep in mind - there is another fedibook thing where you can then also check if somebody near you lends this book :)

@darius
Can I find non-fiction and textbooks on bookwyrm?

@darius Tempting... this would mean moving to another Mastodon instance, right?

@darius @tripofmice Please advise. Should I just follow people who are Bookwym from my existing Mastodon account? Or make a Bookwyrn account and use that?

@darius @tripofmice Thanks a lot for the link! I was searching for an alternative to goodreads a few weeks ago, but ultimately settled on making a page on my website for this since I couldn't find any alternative (and didn't get bookwyrm offered as alternative anywhere)

@darius I set up an account earlier this morning but it says I've only requested to follow myself from Mastodon- and I definitely don't have follow requests enabled in Bookwyrm. Is that expected?

@darius @tripofmice

This is exactly why I joined mastodon, it may be a bit more complex but because it is open there are more possibilities. Reminds me of the web.

@darius Awesome information here! I've been trying to figure out how these platforms all speak to each other, and the answers here explained it really well! 😄

Now if only there was a cool way to link accounts on different platforms together...

@darius @tripofmice I wonder if it is a good place for an author to market a book? Thoughts welcome!

@darius @tripofmice I looked but didn't see - is there a way to import from Goodreads (or another book reading/library tracking tool into Bookwyrm? I have a decade of longer of tracking my library in Goodreads which is hard to give up as it is very useful (I'm also more into Goodreads for my own tracking than for seeing other's reviews though I do like seeing them when from friends)

@darius @tripofmice Yes, Bookwyrm is nice, but there ist one big problem: its licence isn't open source at all.
