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

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])

I haven't heard of Bookwyrm (I'll probably check it out after this) but since you mentioned it, I did want to take this opportunity to shout out The StoryGraph! I've not seen it being talked about much, unfortunately, but I've been using it for a while (even made an account, which I didn't use with Goodreads), and so far I really like it and have nothing bad to say!

I do have that too! Just collecting all the book social sites like Pokémon.

I'll second StoryGraph! When I've decided to start tracking my reading I was considering what app to use and felt that Storygraph is better for my needs than Goodreads.

I really like their suggestions system, and I feel that it only got better with time.
