I’ve been using this for a bit and have some major complaints, the primary one being that reviews and books aren’t shared across all servers. I’m still going to use it to track my reading, but the “social” aspect is straight limited from the start. I want to see ALL reviews for a book, not just the people I follow or the ones on the server I joined. How do you even find people to follow with that level of visibility?
Edit: It’s still way better than feeding your data into the maw of the ever-hungry Amazon, but I want it to be something I can recommend to my non-technical reading folks.
Half of the “utility” comes from following people and hashtags that interest you. From there, use boosts and such to follow the people that continue to be fun to read. I haven’t gotten bored with my feed since taking a more active approach to choosing what I see.
