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])

@Knoll0114 I have an account @chris / https://wyrms.de/user/chris - I mostly read fantasy fiction, and imported my Goodreads reviews when I discovered Bookwyrm last year.

It did federate after all! I guess it was just slow?

@Knoll0114 If it's only just turned up then it was very slow! I think the servers are having a nightmare under the sudden increased load, but good to know it works!
