Bookwyrm – the federated social network for reading books
It’s got a very ideologically-driven focus, including an anti-capital source license:
https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/blob/main/LICENS...
I think the focus on federation is to encourage small, decentralized and communally operated sites that play well with the broader fediverse. I can see that working well for a lot of book communities!
Also, spent a bit of time a few weeks ago and it already seemed to have the nicest UX of the open social book services, at least that I could see (would love recs - mostly interested in a personal tracker).

Setting up a server for a github clone?
So my class is a two semester thing where we are assisting a sponsor in creating a prototype of a item or feature, this is our sponser that we are adding a feature to btw. We have our own fork of it and I made my own copy on my computer (using git clone URL) as this will be a learning experience. I don't have the server set up for me to do debugging/runs and I am not sure how to set up the server to do test runs.

Jelu : self hosted book tracker update
I contacted the bookwyrm dev a while ago to ask an API, we'll see where it leads us (https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/issues/785)

Mastodon – A Federated Twitter Alternative
Beware that Bookwyrm is distributed under the "Anticapitalist software license" [1] so you must be very veyr very careful before using it. It may be actually impossible to legally deploy it for a lot of people.

Jelu : book tracker/database (selhosted goodreads alternative)
Yes, the most obvious choice would be BookWyrm. I thought it would be nice to automatically publish read events or things like this on BookWyrm, but the API does not seem to be very stable or even clear : I found this link https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/issues/785 Apparently BookWyrm has to tweak the ActivityPub format to fit book model, so I'll wait for this to be clearer. Thanks for your interest anyway.

There's a new welcome page for Bookwyrm, the GoodReads alternative on the Fediverse
I believe they're referring to the fact the license (Anti-Capitalist Software License) is not considered to be open source

I cant stand Goodreads anymore, anyone else feeling this way
I host an instance of BookWyrm for myself and a few friends. It's been a good way to track current reading and things that I want to read. https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm
