@FediTips Yea that's a downer that Bookwyrm is still kinda centralized.

It's not centralised at all, it's spread out on lots of servers just like Mastodon.

@FediTips Oh... I stand corrected. I thought you had to sign up on the main server tho?

@FediTips Is there an iOS/Android app for it?

No you don't!
You can choose any of these servers:@FediTips Epic. I think I can even roll my own!

@FediTips Is there an iOS/Android app for it?
Not an app store app, but BookWyrm's web app is good and you can install that on iOS or Android:

@FediTips Just curious, about how many BookWyrm users are there?

I'm not sure, sorry! It's usually quite difficult to know about all the servers on a plaform. I'd guess... 100k?
But BookWyrm accounts can be followed by Fediverse accounts outside BookWyrm so the reach can be bigger than that.

Thank you for sharing. This is great! I dropped Goodreads right after it was acquired by Amazon and haven't been connected socially with other readers for a long time. I just registered an account at BookWyrm (@JulieReads), and look forward to exploring its options and finding & connecting to like minded readers.

@halfbakedkitcat @FediTips BookWyrm is screen reader friendly. In 2017 I worked with the developer for almost a year on making improvement so it is very much screen reader friendly
