I thank @vsp@lemmy.world / @vsp@mastodon.world for this amazing new logo and banner for the socials!

[-] MrCenny@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Yeah. It is kinda "lacking" in the terms of reviews. But for each goodreads people that join, the more reviews and books we get, as you can import your goodreads library. And knowing the fediverse, it won't be that long, I hope ;P

[-] MrCenny@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Lol, yeah. It can be a little lacking for now, but knowing the fediverse, it won't be long until it also gets populated!

[-] MrCenny@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Lol yeah. Would be nice. But I'll bet ya we'll make an instance for it whenever it gets made :P

Bookwyrm is specifically made for booksharing and book reviewing. While lemmy is more general. For instance, this is a link to the "a game of thrones book" https://bookwyrm.world/book/8138/s/a-game-of-thrones. Here you have reviews of the book. You can also add that book to your "to read" list aswell.

If you are interested in sharing book recommendations with other, or just manage your books, then bookwyrm is great for that! The .world team also has a bookwyrm instance up and running at bookwyrm.world with a community here on lemmy as well at !bookwyrm@lemmy.world. Read Ruuds original post about it here: https://lemmy.world/post/5904792

If you want to join another bookwyrm instance, then head over to joinbookwyrm.com.

Anyway, it's a great place to find books, share books, and find people with similar interests in books! If there is anything that you feel needs to be improved or changed on the bookwyrm.world instance, then contact me!

EDIT - Mastodon account for the instance: @bookwyrmworld@mastodon.world

Hey there! Thank you for bringing this up! As the user @PriorProject@lemmy.world says, the normal route for community "takeover" is to report them to us, and ask for the community that you want. I also see that you didn't want any of the communities, but thanks for reporting it! I've just now taken this up with the internal admin team :)

I honestly get dizzy by just looking at those numbers...πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

If you look at lemmy.world's status page then you can see that we are currently in "maintenance mode". So they are currently trying to fix up some issues mentioned in OP's post and other comment(s) :)

[-] MrCenny@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Heyo! Small update from someone who is watching the upgrade live; it's ongoing still. Seems like they are still facing some performance issues. So grab your popcorn and wait! 🍿 (Btw, i am not a sysadmin, just a moderator)
