I have just started to look into BookWyrm because of this post. Is there a way to tag or categorized books? I like to separate them by genre or other aspects.
I'm also new to this whole Fediverse thing. What I managed to do is:
Create an account on a Mastodon server
Create an account on BookWyrm
Find the BookWyrm account through the Fedilab app, being logged in with the Mastodon account, and follow (searching for [email protected])
See posts I made on BookWyrm after I followed in the Fedilab app
I have not found a way to search for users Jerboa which I use for Lemmy. And searching through the website, I don't find my BookWyrm account. I guess it is still early days for some of this stuff in terms of how easy it is to understand and use.
