Question for #Bookstodon ....

I'm looking to migrate away from Goodreads (luckily I didn't get too far into using it).

Hoping for something very open/non-corporate.

Thoughts on #Bookwyrm vs #Openlibrary ?

Bookwyrm seems to be missing a lot of books. And the work to add them seems a waste when I can go upstream to OpenLibrary. OL lacks the social features but Bookwyrm seems very uh... basic & kinda ugly. 🤔

@syntaxseed I think there are #fediverse folks working on making #bookwyrm better. I just wish I could convince my #library colleagues that this is a project worth doing. I don’t know where in the world you are but walk into your public library and tell them you want to use #bookwyrm and you want it to be better. @dawn @django

@KarenKeiller @syntaxseed @django addressing that issue of adding books and having that feel easier seems key to bookwyrm, I had a similar experience while playing around. @ramblingreaders seems like they have an active bookwyrm and I've appreciated reading updates and their insights on their open collective page
