BookWyrm was my first dip into the Fediverse, back when I was looking for an alternative to Goodreads.
Really surprised it's the only book related fork of the fediverse here
Do people not read any more?
I don't think you can correlate the number of readers to the number of book instances or whatever they're called. Most people (myself included) probably just use Goodreads, and BookWyrm is probably a good enough alternative that there's no need to spin up another.
Edit: according to this there's a lot of instances: https://joinbookwyrm.com/instances/
