Your support goes a long way to making development sustainable.
We're rolling out a new timeline! The books timeline will show public status updates about your books from all over the BookWyrm network. You can still see local updates in your "Discover" page, which is designed to emphasize the hyper-local community on each instance.
BookWyrm is a Fediverse alternative to GoodReads.

("Onboarding" is when you make it as easy as possible for people to join something.)
BookWyrm and its instances are currently still in beta testing, but you can join now if you want to try it out. Instances marked as "closed" mean you can join but you have to request an invitation.
We now have a "Join BookWyrm" page that you can show your friends and where they'll be able to see what the project is about and also find the list of instances so that they can choose which one to join!
With the latest update, admins can post announcements on #Bookwyrm to let their users know what's up!

Since a recent update, Bookwyrm can also import books from @inventaire to diversify the search results a bit. Other book sources are https://openlibrary.org/ as well as other Bookwyrm instances, but you can also create books and editions in Bookwyrm itself. More connected sources are planned, stay tuned!
