#bookwyrm

And now that the RC for Catodon 26.11.0 "Nyan Cat" is out, we can continue development, towards 26.12.0 "Grumpy Cat". First feature I'm working on: a Library, a feature close to (and compatible with) Bookwyrm's Shelves, but not just for books: You will be able to add reviews for films, music albums etc, since Catodon Libraries will also be compatible with NeoDB! #catodon #bookwyrm #neodb

3 good things for today.

• Fixed an issue for a customer which should have been handled by a colleague, but we know how that goes.

• Added the Dutch version of a book to Bookwyrm (I'm currently reading it, the English version is already there.)

• Some more progress with playing Beauty and the Beast on the harp.

#3goodThings #reasonsToBeCheerful #harp #BookWyrm

current daily #fediverse use: #nicolium and #phanpy on desktop, #fedicat on ios, #mastodon for posts like this, #neodb for tv and movies, #bookwyrm for books

Question for #Bookstodon .... I'm looking to migrate away from Goodreads (luckily I didn't get too far into using it). Hoping for something very open/non-corporate. Thoughts on #Bookwyrm vs #Openlibrary ? Bookwyrm seems to be missing a lot of books. And the work to add them seems a waste when I can go upstream to OpenLibrary. OL lacks the social features but Bookwyrm seems very uh... basic & kinda ugly. 🤔 #reading #books

Is anyone on bookwyrm? Would love to follow! #Bookwyrm

BookWyrm is the Fediverse's alternative to Amazon's Goodreads. You can find out more about it at https://fedi.tips/bookwyrm-a-social-network-for-people-who-enjoy-reading BookWyrm has a built-in catalogue of books to search, but if the book you want isn't in the results you can optionally add it manually. More info about doing this at https://fedi.tips/how-to-manually-add-a-book-on-bookwyrm #FediTips #BookWyrm #Goodreads #Alternatives

expanding the recognition of #bookwyrm posts on #neodb to also work when viewing media updates from other neodb instances, e.g. here I see a post from neodb.social about city hunter (fun classic kdrama) and the post menu has an option to search for it locally in the tv catalog

it’s #FedicatFunFeatureFriday, when viewing a #bookwyrm update on #neodb, a button to search for that book in the neodb catalog, I use this to keep my neodb shelves in sync with my bookwyrm

Har læst Theis Ørntofts Bag litiumbjergene" i dag. “Ingen raske mennesker nyder tanken om, at indonesiske floder er mørkerøde af kemikalier fra nikkelindustrien, eller at den kinesiske elbil- og solcelleproduktion bygger på rygende kul og diesel, og hvad skulle man da gøre, spundet ind i forsyningslinjer fra top til tå som man er; har du selv nogle gode forslag, Theis?” Kan godt forstå, at den har fået supergode anmeldelser. Jeg er enig. #bøger #bookwyrm

So, how do you manage #StandardEbooks in #Bookwyrm? Or #Goodreads? How do you add them manually? #books #bookstodon @bookstodon@fedigroups.social

#askfedi does anyone synchronize #calibre to #bookwyrm ? Not an initial bulk import, but like: whenever you push a book from calibre to the ebook reader, you mark it as start reading in bookwyrm. Or move it from some "yes I have it" to "want to read"/"carry it with me" shelf?

Friday! Time for #ThreeGoodThings -

1. #Futurescapes workshop
2. Figuring out #Discord again after 10 years away
3. Weekend coming! And more #writing time!

For good measure, maybe 3 more good things...

1. My #ecofiction trilogy is getting traction in the ebook world!
2. Only 4 days left of #presales, for paperbacks, then the trilogy will be available in both ebook and physical copy, worldwide.
3. Over 1000 people have signed up for the Goodreads #bookgiveaway I am running for Rail.

p.s. Pic is a snapshot I had on my laptop, from the movie Inception by Christopher Nolan. @ThreeGoodThings @bookwyrm@tech.lgbt #BookWyrm #BookWyrmSocial

Probando Rocinante. Una aplicación para #BookWyrm.

https://f-droid.org/packages/com.ferlagod.rocinante

Fast, private, and native client for the BookWyrm literary social network.

A reef isn't a single organism. Things settle where conditions suit them, and the substrate they share is what makes them a reef and not a scattering of unrelated lifeforms.

ActivityPub is that substrate. The Fediverse Beyond Mastodon series is complete. We published four posts about some of what's growing on it:

1. The microblogging platforms that aren't Mastodon: Misskey, Pleroma, Akkoma, Friendica, GoToSocial. Several predate Mastodon, and some were federating before ActivityPub existed.

2. The visual layer: Pixelfed, Loops, PeerTube. Your work sits on infrastructure you or your community control, and no ranking system decides who sees it.

3. The writing platforms: Ghost, WordPress, WriteFreely, Micro.blog, Plume, Flipboard. Each arrived at federation by a different route.

4. Forums, books, and music: Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, NodeBB, Bookwyrm, Bandwagon.

Paperbacks now available! 🌍📘 Three good things about this moment: 1️⃣ Print on demand means sustainable production and global access. 2️⃣ Getting books to readers is the heart of independent publishing. 3️⃣ Readers! You make the whole ecosystem real. Rail: A High Speed Adventure is now open for paperback presale worldwide. 🔗 https://bit.ly/3ThRP6t About Rail: Drawn into a globe‑spanning infrastructure proposal with uncertain motives, a designer confronts ecological ethics, corporate ambition, and the meaning of home as her past and future converge. Words from Global architect Raya Ani: "Building on The Erenwine Agenda, this work expands the conversation between architecture, environment, and responsibility — moving from personal conflict into global systems and their consequences." Ebooks are available now, worldwide. 🔗 https://bit.ly/3ThRP6t #3GoodThings #AmericanAuthor #BCAuthor #BookClub #BookLaunch #BookReview #BookWyrm #CanadianAuthor #ClimateFiction #DesignInFiction #DesignLeadership #DesignThinking #Ecofiction #EnvironmentalStorytelling #ErenwineTrilogy #FictionAboutArchitecture #HighSpeedRail #Hokkaido #IndieAuthor #IndiePublishing #Infrastructure #NJAuthor #NYC #NewBookRelease #Presales #ReaderGuide #Resilience #SaltSpringIsland #ScribesAndMakers #SlowTravel #SmallPress #SustainableDesign #Svalbard #SystemsThinking #Urbanism #VancouverAuthor #VisionaryEcofiction #WhatToRead #WhatToReadNext #WomenAuthors #WomenInArchitecture #WomenInDesign #WomenInEngineering #WomenInLeadership #WomenInSTEAM #WomenInSTEM@3goodthings@fedigroups.social

In contrast with #Mastodon imports, importing my #Bookwyrm data to a new account has gone quite poorly. Import my user account data failed due to missing books. Import books also failed due to missing books. So now my only option is to manually import all the missing books, and then retry my user data import in 2 days since it's a rate limited endpoint. Very disappointing.
