I only really ever used the service as a way for logging what I had read. The other social aspects didn’t keep me coming back and I personally didn’t find the home feed interesting.
Right! Readup auto-logging what I read has been such a major pull factor for me, that it has kept me coming back, even if I’m (temporarily) not interested in the rest.
Re: Goodreads & BookWyrm. I also mostly used Goodreads to track reads, and even that very intermittently. I’ve migrated my library BookWyrm a few weeks ago. Mostly because if I spent time tracking and socializing around books, it might as well be on a grassroots, open-source and federated platform, rather than a platform owned and mined by a trillion dollar company.
