I did it again.... started another Fediverse service, this time a Bookwyrm instance.

I used Goodreads, but if there's a Federated alternative, why not use that.. So I setup a server and opened registrations.

Enjoy, and please let me know if you find anything that can be improved or changed.

I really need to ditch Goodreads and get into Bookwyrm. :)

this is pretty cool, but I never understood the appeal of "hey guys im reading this book"

I just subject that to the first person I talk to at work instead lol

It's more like:

You: Hey guys im reading this book

Random Guy: Hey! I'm currently reading this book as well!

You: Cool! Let me check out what else you like!

And that's how you find your book people and with them a stack of unread but cool books you need to work through.
