Question to the BookWyrm community:
I'm thinking of opening a BookWyrm account and after visiting joinbookwyrm.com, I'm unsure which instance to join.
My instinct is to avoid the mothership and join a smaller but not too small instance. Should I prioritize an instance with a current version of BookWyrm or one with a larger number of users? Or go with the mothership which has both?
Ok i found my #Bookwyrm account on mastodon but i cant login via my tusky app
And i just updated my books on my account but its not going to mastodon account feed ?? #BookWyrmTips @FediTips

Question : which app would you recommend for BookWyrm on Android ?
Setting up BookWyrm was not a success and drained all my energy for days trying to get it to work either with docker and dockless on Nginx reverse proxy, documentation is outdated and in slow development.
Out of the fediverse software I tried, Mastodon being quite complex, but no more complicated than BookWyrm.
Guess I can cross that one out.
Wenn Du das genau so in Deinen Browser getippt hast, liegt es ggf. am Typo.

Ist das eine #BookWyrmTips -Instanz?
@feditips @bookwyrm woo,made an account and imported my GoodReads data! Loving the mobile interface so far.
So what #BookWyrmTips and other advice do ya'll have? Is anyone talking about Reading Groups or anything with hashtags or a.gup.py groups?
BookWyrm is a federated open social reading platform, and is the Fediverse's alternative to Amazon's GoodReads.
There's more info about BookWyrm at https://joinbookwyrm.com and there's a list of servers you can join at https://joinbookwyrm.com/instances
You can follow the project's account at @bookwyrm, and BookWyrm accounts can be followed from Mastodon etc, for example @mouse is the lead developer's BookWyrm account.
You can import your book data into BookWyrm from GoodReads, LibraryThing, StoryGraph, OpenLibrary and Calibre.
To import data, first export it from the other service as a CSV file, then log into your BookWyrm account, go to Settings > Import, select the type of data and then browse to the CSV file you had exported from the other service. Select the correct privacy setting, then click "import".
