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?

    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.

          Well maybe once there is a truly giant instance set up, but I think it would be better to curate considering the state of publishing lmao? 95% of new books = slop

            I don’t understand what exactly you are describing/looking for. People are already curating lists on Bookwyrm. Slop books don’t make it there when people don’t recommend them. What do you think are giant instances needed for?

              IDK maybe I misunderstood you & took it for saying Bookwyrm can replace Goodreads, which is more like online BarneSS and Noble. We probably have similar ideas about how to use it.
