I remember a while ago I saw a TikTok but for fediverse and also an instagram. What other cool programs are there for the fediverse?

    Yep super promising and necessary for anyone rightly not wanting to use amazon current problem is duplicates and lack of content.

      Lack of content is always relative of course, I’d say there’s some genres that are well represented where you can find reviews for most books. My timeline is everything but empty as well.

      Duplication is a thing. It isn’t super annoying for most users though. Find any copy of your book and start reading.

        Use the same logic we do for the rest of the fediverse. You’re not making “the world’s bookstore” you’re making a collection of books that can’t be found elsewhere. I think it can be useful for people with particular literary or historical tastes

          Bookwyrm has a list feature and there’s already plenty list for like queer sci-fi, solarpunk and other “niche” genres. Not sure how fediverse-exclusive these are though.

            Sure but think of those are subsections within a small bookstore. You could make them curated lists of fiction subgenres, or explorations of specific historical periods or authors. I think the detail & specificity gives it an edge over just browsing Goodreads with https://libredirect.io/ or Internet Archive or Anna’s etcetera

              That’s what happens already when people create lists for their own interests. Plenty nerds on bookwyrm curating books for their interests.
