Are people using Bookwyrm? Who are some people to follow on Bookwyrm?
I am! @chris@wyrms.de
A lot of people do use Bookwyrm! It just depends on finding the right community.
I am on a fairly small brazilian instance (velhaestante.com.br) and even though I joined while not knowing anybody I still get a fair amount of interactivity. Not enough to be logging in every day, of course, our instance is not nearly as big as something like bookwyrm.social and I don’t read and update that often.
It’s just like any other fediverse software. Even on a small instance you can get a fair level of interactivity and on top of that you can still interact with big instances and large amounts of content! Of course, if you just create an account and forget about it, or you don’t use it very often, and don’t seek out interactions/following other people, of course you won’t get the same level of content in your feed as if you were on GoodReads.
That’s the charm of the fediverse!
I added a couple of books and reviews. I forgot my account as it’s been about a year.
I’m the same.
It seems like a good idea but it’s just really unintuitive and empty
I’ve had a better time on archive.org. I wish bookwyrm would do an export or integration with them.
I did ride hard for it but I switched to something similar but without the social aspect(openreads) as it was getting too much for me to manage another social platform.
I use it, mainly to keep track of what I’m reading, but I also sometimes leave a small review.
I am but mostly just for myself. Its fun keeping track of what one is reading.
