The hitchhiker's guide to the Fediverse
The federated universe, or “Fediverse”, is a free and open-source alternative to commercial social media platforms. It's composed of a group of federated social networking services, which allow users of each service to communicate with users on any other service. This is typically accomplished using the ActivityPub protocol.
In this post, we'll try to present you some lesser-known federated platforms to major and famous social networks you've probably been using for years.
Anything but Amazom
Just say no to the Rube Goldberg of human suffering that is Amazon. I wonder how many AWS servers this list is on lols

Comments and Reviews
A bit janky in the state it's in now, but that's to be expected since it hadn't even had its first major release yet. Shows a lot of potential and it feels a bit more fun to use than e.g. Goodreads imo. Excited to see where it goes!
I like that you can "import" books from other websites instead of adding them manually. The community also seems nice. The servers tend to get overworked more often than alternatives, but that's the price to pay with a small project like this.
