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])

Er...by the way, is it possible to connect a Bookwyrm account to a Lemmy, kbin, or Mastodon account? Is Bookwyrm compatible with the rest of the Fediverse? Or is it a different Fediverse?

I’ve been told it is possible! But I don’t know how…

There's only one Fediverse, though it can be fragmented (through admin instances decision, not through softwares).
Interactions with Bookwyrm are possible from Mastodon, but the big problem imho is that boosting a BW post from Mastodon creates a mastodon message with the link to the BW comment, it doesn't include the BW comment itself.
Never tried from Lemmy, though.
