For those who don't know, Bookwyrm is basically a better, federated Goodreads. Because it speaks ActivityPub, you can subscribe to someone's Bookwyrm feed from directly in Mastodon and see the book reviews they post!

Also there are 2 spots remaining in the Bookwyrm patreon to pay $40/mo and support the project in a huge way *and* have @tripofmice run a server for you and 50 of your bookwormiest friends: https://www.patreon.com/bookwyrm

BookWyrm is a decentralized social network for tracking your reading, talking about books, writing reviews, and discovering what to read next.

@darius @tripofmice Please advise. Should I just follow people who are Bookwym from my existing Mastodon account? Or make a Bookwyrn account and use that?

@mike @tripofmice basically, whatever you prefer! if you want to WRITE reviews using bookwyrm you'll need an account but if you just want to follow people's reviews, you can use Mastodon. that's one of the main advantages of federated services and it rules

@darius @tripofmice Aha, and I guess the same applies with other Fediverse apps: you only need an account on them if you want to *create*. Right?
