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 just heard of it, still keeping up with Goodreads. Kinda hard to swap after so many years

      Definitely hard but the import feature is pretty good. I don’t see myself deleting my Goodreads account though it’s too hard to let go.

        I’m going to try it out either way to see if it sticks. I’d like to completely turn to decentralised alternatives.

          It does have a decent-ish user base already but nothing near the level of Goodreads or The Storygraph. I hope it continues to grow though!
