A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It would make it even more important to have sites like Goodread where books are recommended by communities.
There's even a federated alternative, BookWyrm!
...I guess these days the Fediverse is my hammer of choice, and every problem with the internet is a nail.
To be fair, it a REALLY good hammer.
How does the federation work in this case? Do I have to create a new account there, or can I see their content using my Kbin account?
Unfortunately it is extremely sparse vs goodreads. Maybe someday it will catch up, but I really didn't find it useful right now. Then again I am def a lurker on goodreads so where I read lists and reviews from doesn't matter that much.
I guess what I don't get is what were people using GoodReads for? Because I'm using BookWyrm to just track what I already wanted to read and use the review system as a way to sum up books for myself.
