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 Unfreeze4257@books.theunseen)
True! I was also searching for alternatives. I’m Polish and we have a polish alternative but it’s super clanky and the UI is filled with ads… I found Literaly on ProductHunt and I was flabbergasted by it
There’s also a French alternative called Babelio that I’m aware of and it’s where I go when I’m in the mood to read French. But again, the UI is also pretty outdated (not too many ads though.)
