    Social reading and reviewing, decentralized with ActivityPub

    Looks like it's still early days, but one to watch:

    @jdaviescoates
    Plenty of release activity since OP:-
    https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/tags

    Silly licence --- watch out, in the case of "commercial" activity:-
    https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/blob/main/LICENSE.md

    BookWyrm Android app at IzzyOnDroid:-
    https://android.izzysoft.de/applists/category/named/reading_ebookreaders
    https://github.com/PrivacyDragon/Bookwyrm_Android

    Twitter account interestingly active:-
    https://twitter.com/BookWyrmSocial

    All in all, well worth looking into!

    @RoundHouse1924

    The "anti-capitalist licence 1.4" is indeed funny:

    The User is one of the following:
    
    An individual person, laboring for themselves
    A non-profit organization
    An educational institution
    An organization that seeks shared profit for all of its members, and allows non-members to set the cost of their labor
    

    What happens if you are unemployed? Who is going around ensuring compliance and enforcing this licence? I wonder what the earlier versions were like...

    Anyway, it is nice to have an alternative to Amazon controlled Goodreads...

    @jdaviescoates This looks very interesting. I've been looking for something to manage a UX book club community idea on.

    This might be something I could use.

    Do you have experience on it?

    Does that mean users are not allowed to edit the top post, for some reason?

    @RoundHouse1924 yes, after a certain amount of time posts get locked (spam prevention, I think)

    @jdaviescoates thanks! updated.

    Does that mean users are not allowed to edit the top post, for some reason?

    @RoundHouse1924 yes, often once they get a 1 or 2 point reputation, they go back and edit the posts to have spam links.

    I second this. Would be great to use this as a Goodreads alternative.
