I have a bookwyrm account, but I just found it too frustrating to use regularly and I need something with very little friction if I’m going to use it at all. My hope is it improves as it ages. I like the interface and general features of The Storygraph, but its private equity backing concerns me, my personal favorite though is Hardcover.app. It’s got a funding structure that is super close to being self sustaining and there are plans to open source as soon as they meet their expectations for the base app features and interface. I’m JaymesRS on all of them.
Honestly if it wasn't because I love to explore the possibility of the fediverse, I wouldn't be using it. The user experience is not great especially for someone who never use such a software and it won't be good before many, many books are added. I take note of the softwares you mentionned. Thanks!
I made my account a while ago for the same reason. I realised that I am not much of an online book tracker, but I use bookwyrm to post my reviews if I write any. You dont't have to use all features of bookwyrm to explore it is what I want to say.
I'm going the opposite way. I don't care about the review publishing part.
