If you are interested in sharing book recommendations with other, or just manage your books, then bookwyrm is great for that! The .world team also has a bookwyrm instance up and running at bookwyrm.world with a community here on lemmy as well at !bookwyrm@lemmy.world. Read Ruuds original post about it here: https://lemmy.world/post/5904792
If you want to join another bookwyrm instance, then head over to joinbookwyrm.com.
Anyway, it’s a great place to find books, share books, and find people with similar interests in books! If there is anything that you feel needs to be improved or changed on the bookwyrm.world instance, then contact me!
EDIT - Mastodon account for the instance: @bookwyrmworld@mastodon.world

This is really nice and a cute logo i just wish it was more than books. Af least manga but all media (shows, movies like letterboxd) would be great
One could totally just add the manga they want, right? If it’s on one of the supported sites like goodreads you can even clone the entry.
I really wish it was MediaWyrm. I want something where I can share, rate, and track books, movies, tv shows, podcasts, etc
Maybe would be easy to fork it
Lol yeah. Would be nice. But I’ll bet ya we’ll make an instance for it whenever it gets made :P
Yes please. This sounds great. What’s the difference between a bookworm instance and a Lemmy instance?
Bookwyrm is specifically made for booksharing and book reviewing. While lemmy is more general. For instance, this is a link to the “a game of thrones book” https://bookwyrm.world/book/8138/s/a-game-of-thrones. Here you have reviews of the book. You can also add that book to your “to read” list aswell.
This looks really great. It’s going to need some dedicated book nerds to fill it with content, but those are probably not hard to find around here. I’m in.
Edit: a lot of dedicated book nerds
Lol, yeah. It can be a little lacking for now, but knowing the fediverse, it won’t be long until it also gets populated!
It’ll get there! It’s a great idea and denizens of the 'verse tend to have a passion for this sort of thing

I think there is one on f-drpid. But using the website as is works great on mobile aswell.
I really wish was a Free Software and not a proprietary one!
Just the fact that you can see the source code does NOT mean it is free software. This project is licensed under the anti-capitalist software license, which is not a free software license.
The Anti-Capitalist Software License is a nonfree license because it extends the four freedoms only to some kinds of organizations, not to all.
I see. Thanks for explaining, and for the FSF link.
proprietary / (prəˈpraɪɪtərɪ, -trɪ) / adjective
- of, relating to, or belonging to property or proprietors
- privately owned and controlled
It’s not proprietary. It’s non-commercial and opensource.
No. It’s not Open source at all!
From Open source definition: “The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.”
Source: https://opensource.org/osd
That’s the opensource definition by one single entity. They don’t own the word, nor does everybody need to take their word as gospel. The OSI are like the church and their priests. They preach a static, never-changing, world that they believe in that doesn’t line up with the real world, where opensource is taken advantage of by multi-billion and trillion dollar companies who host competing services without or minimally contributing back.
By free software you mean the FSF or OSI definition. Many people won’t care, and some of us actively are against corporate leech on free software, which this license helps with.
Does it though? As far as I know, there hasn’t been a legal dispute over this license before in a court. It probably wouldn’t even hold up in court with its oddly specific cases and vague wording.
