Pretty straightforward: books and literature of all stripes can be discussed here.

Just followed you! I see you're a fellow Sci-Fi fan!
I am but this past year I haven't been reading much. My "to read" pile is huge.
How do people even find other instances for all these ActivityPub services?
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.
I just found Bookwyrm! It looks cool - how do we comment or otherwise access Bookwyrm content on Kbin?
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?
Me too. Haven't been able to find a solution (yet)
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.
Yeah I have in the past used a bunch of different on/offline methods but have always ended up most consistently at Goodreads, so online is definitely the go for me (I can't lose it that way lol.)
Just discovered it a few hours ago (thanks guys) and find it promising... What I would miss from Goodreads/StoryGraph are the following I think:
- Reading stats (but there are some issues / pull request on bookwyrm GitHub so we may expect something sooner or later)
- Recommendations / discovery of books - author I didn't knew about but we can see with this community or so
- Reviews (Of course it's a feature existing in bookwyrm but since the user base is much fewer than closed source alternatives, there are fewer reviews too)
Now I always been more or less implied and interested in FOSS and even if I'm a late adopter of fediverse world that seems very promising to me and I think I'll prefer something free despite the few limitations I oversee.
