   Book Lovers!

   I just joined BookWyrm and am looking forward to learning how to use it. But I have a rather obvious getting started question: How do I manage having two "fediverse addresses"? (the one you're reading and my new Bookwyrm one)

   If I post reviews using my BookWyrm account, I'm assuming no one will see my reviews as, not surprisingly, no one is following that account. Am I missing something obvious? For example, if I wanted to share a book review in BookWyrm, do I just share the link?

     @scottjenson I’ve been chewing on this too, as I try to move ~2000 book notes to… something other than a google sheet, heh

     @troed @scottjenson @nyquildotorg
     Rather than a “Fediverse ID” have an account/profile/ whatever that allows more then 1 ID to be supported, a concept tweetdeck et al introduced. You could manage, schedule and post to 1 or more IDs. You the person decides what the purpose of those IDs serve and take action accordingly.

     @dahukanna @troed @nyquildotorg I'd like to understand how this would work. As I read what you said. This would allow me to post to either one or both of my accounts (mastodon and bookwyrm).

     Where I'm confused is how would I make a "bookwyrm post"? My mastodon client has no idea. So would I got to Bookwyrm, make the post and 'target' my mastodon account?

     I think this is where Fediverse needs to go, and I've given it some thought. A "fediverse id" (by default as today) that can be used as a point of auth to any fediverse-service.

     It's something Bluesky solved very neatly and we should strive to copy it.

     @nyquildotorg Thanks. I (naively) thought I could "log into" BookWyrm with my mastodon account. or maybe I'm just not thinking this through properly....

     @scottjenson you can follow your BookWyrm account with this account, and then can boost it. Not ideal, but then interested people might follow the BookWyrm account too

     @dahukanna nice! That’s the approach I’ve been leaning towards with my stuff, but the “hmmm, should I just build… right on some distrobuted/federated platform?” Is always tempting

     I’m hacking on regular forum software, that solves my conversation focus with reply threading, branching & digressions, to figure out if it could do orchestration work as a POSSE approach: https://indieweb.org/POSSE.
     I post on the modified forum software & it logs in to the target specified server(s), posts, boosts & collects any comments, likes, etc with the relevant sequencing etc.

     Also allows me to take time to create & review posts before publishing, plus scheduling.
