If I'm not mistaken they also run other software too? I just can't think of what else. Definitely both Lemmy and Mastodon. Pretty cool really.
They also run bookwyrm.world! A fediverse alternative of Goodreads.
Oh thank you so much for sharing! I abandoned Goodreads because it lacked trustworthiness (why does an unreleased novel have 10,000 5 star reviews?)
Advance free give aways in exchange for “honest” reviews. Still shady af.
Well, at least there's the veneer of authenticity, ha. Thanks for the extra context.
Not federated but I can really recommend trying out hardcover.app/
They're not federated but have very good import/export tools if you want to take your data somewhere else.
Thank you! I'll check that out as well, though I value highly federation.
Me too, hopefully they federate at some point. The team behind Hardcover seem to support the ideas of the open web.... at least data portability and so on. Let's see if a meaningful connection with Bookwyrm is possible in the future.
