How many of you are using Bookwyrm (federated alternative to Goodreads)? (self.books)

I recently discovered Bookwyrm and am really liking it. It's not quite as full-featured as The Storygraph or Goodreads but it covers all of the most important functionalities and it's federated which I appreciate. Something that it is missing Vs either The Storygraph or Goodreads at the moment is volume of reviews (ie. Volume of users.) However, your review won't get lost in the sea so much and I've found that it's been quite easy to find readers with similar interests.

Anyway, who here is using Bookwyrm? What's your account so we can all follow each other? (Mine is [email protected])

What I would like to see is some sort of platform that matches your ratings of a set of books against others users' ratings to determine a "correlation score" that you see when you look at ratings/reviews by other users. In this way you could say, "Hey! This reviewer has similar tastes to me, I can probably trust this review".

I think The Storygraph has this feature and in the premium tier it's enhanced in some way. Not sure how accurate it is though.

undefined> The story Graph

French site https://www.senscritique.com/ has this feature for free (for movies, video games, books ...)
