Just discovered it a few hours ago (thanks guys) and find it promising... What I would miss from Goodreads/StoryGraph are the following I think:
- Reading stats (but there are some issues / pull request on bookwyrm GitHub so we may expect something sooner or later)
- Recommendations / discovery of books - author I didn't knew about but we can see with this community or so
- Reviews (Of course it's a feature existing in bookwyrm but since the user base is much fewer than closed source alternatives, there are fewer reviews too)
Now I always been more or less implied and interested in FOSS and even if I'm a late adopter of fediverse world that seems very promising to me and I think I'll prefer something free despite the few limitations I oversee.
Do you know if there is an issue on lemmy github about this feature you talk about (more flexible federation options) ? So we can follow or maybe contribute
