It's been years since I reread this and I still call her "Pants".

Agreed! I've come across a couple of writing communities here, but they're still just starting out. Hopefully we'll be able to grow these communities. 🤞

Non-tech background. I'm a book editor and when the Snoopocalypse happened, most of the niche communities I was a part of were shut down in protest, so I decided to give Lemmy a try. Loving it so far, as it seems way less toxic.

Has anyone here tried Bookwyrm? If not, what's your favorite GR alternative? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hello, fellow bibliophiles!

I've been on the hunt for a decent Goodreads alternative for a few years now and was curious as to what the fine folks of the Lemmyverse thought of Bookwyrm.

There are so many GR alternatives that are clearly trying to be "The New Goodreads", though the whole reason I wanted an alternative is because I'm sick of GR and its devolution into a commercialized, biased, and messy shithole. Like, if I wanted recommendations and feckless reviews straight from the putrid inner bowels of Tiktok, I'd go to Tiktok. And most of these alternatives seem to quickly turn into the same thing. I refuse to believe that GR and its copycats are our only viable option.

Bookwyrm seems promising. It's been a bit clunky and I'm still figuring it out, but I'm enjoying the utter lack of sponsored or "pushed" content. So, thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?
