Bookwyrm does have a feature to fetch book data from OpenLibrary which is detailed enough. The problem last I checked is that the feature doesn’t replace data of already-existing books, so even if it exists in OL it won’t replace the empty listing in Bookwyrm.

If that feature worked properly or the admin of the instance would update to the newest database of OpenLibrary then it should work fine.

The middle east is very big so you’ll need to be more specific. I live in the ME and it works fine on my end

I literally just got called a snowflake in another thread for saying people should stop posting US politics in general communities. People still wonder why Lemmy has a bad reputation even in the entire Fediverse… Sometimes I wonder why I still bother here.
