I’m new to Lemmy but I like the idea, so I went looking for other platforms using the “fediverse” and found this Goodreads replacement.
Are any of you using it? Do you have any tips or tricks? I noticed there are a lot of “duplicate” books that seem tied to different editions and ISBNs, and while the site gives me the ability to edit, I’ve mostly only been adding the occasional cover, since I don’t want to mess up entries people have already put reviews on. There doesn’t seem to be any “master” entry for the book in general, with the different ISBNs and editions being linked to that central entry.
(But the book nerd in me wants to totally get publishing date/cover it was published with/publisher each edition was published with/etc. updated.)
It uses ActivityPub, that’s pretty neat.
Oh–I accidentally posted this as the “avesta” language and I’d wondered why it’d vanished or somehow seemed shadowbanned…I had my languages set wrong in my profile. Thank you for commenting, it allowed me to find this post and fix the language setting on it.
FYI, your comment here is also set to “avesta” so you might want to review your language settings too in case you’re running into a similar issue as me.
Edit: Hm, mine was too, by default. Although I just edited it back to English.
Hrm. Growing pains I guess. Thank you!
Yeah, growing pains for sure. I posted about it on https://lemmy.world/post/1111947 although I don’t know if that is the right place to suggest improvements.
