Hey, there's been a bunch of new users so I figured it might be a good idea to make this thread. Feel free to post your introductions, as well as any links to socials (only if you want to!) such as storygraph, goodreads, or bookwrym etc. I am hopeful to set up a bookwrym instance eventually but its still very much in early early early development.

Also be aware that there are alternative UI front ends, as seen from here. https://literature.cafe/post/315847

Hello! I go by PseudoMon on the internet. I'm a game programmer from Southeast Asia. Honestly I was just exploring places on the fediverse and somehow stumbled my way here. This place seems pretty nifty! Reading and writing has been a lifelong passion of mine, though I haven't written more than the sporadic short stories and I have been reading way fewer books than I like recently, aha.

I usually read science fiction and fantasy with some dabbling into "literary" fiction and biography/history books. When not reading I also (predictably) play video games and also mess around with web development. Here's my (rarely-updated) Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/12174984

Goodreads is such a glitchy mess, it makes me so sad

Honestly I've never really had any technical issues with Goodreads. I'm planning on moving to Bookwyrm at some point, but haven't had the time to do that.

It's still in its infancy but is still quite good already. I might spin up a bookwrym instance eventually for the instance, but probably only if there's demand for it and if people are willing to chip in with donations to help somewhat cover the cost since it would likely require another (albeit potentially smaller) server separate from this lemmy instance.

I just wish there was an app for it tbh....
