What is the best way to find other instances of interest? My first attempt at joining a second instance that I thought would be good didn't work out the way I thought it would...

Overall, I think the move from the bird site here has been a positive one, but there definitely are communities from the old place that I haven't found here and I am not sure if there is a way to replace them.

Is #Bookwrym a viable alternative to Goodreads? Is there a decent "For Dummies" explanation out there?

I need a new book to read. Prefer fiction, especially #scifi. Any recommendations?
