Heyo! For those of you using this community for info: the website is back up again!

We've also had to disable open registrations for the moment due to spam accounts.

Have a great time reading ya'll 😁

Version 0.7.5 has come out for bookwyrm. This should hopefully (fingers crossed) fix some import instabilities!

BookWyrm.world has also updated to this version.

Vivaldi (the web browser) is hosting a community talk together with AllThingsTech about "Why does being on the Fediverse matter to us?". You can listen along to it via. https://audon.space/u/@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net.

They start on the 25th of May, 13:00 EDT / 17:00 UTC.

Bookwyrm.world has hit over 100 members! Additionally, the instance ranks 11th among bookwyrm instances based on the MAU (Monthly Active Users), which I would say is pretty good!

I hope that we'll see the next user milestone as soon as possible! If you have questions about bookwyrm or about the bookwyrm.world instance, then either ask it in the comments, in a lemmy dm, a mastodon dm to me or the bookwyrm.world mastodon account or via mail at info@bookwyrm.world.

We've successfully updated to version 0.7.3 of bookwyrm. Before the update, we created a backup to ensure that we don't lose too much in case anything goes wrong. We'll update you if we come across any problems, and if you come across any problems, then contact us by mail via. info@bookwyrm.world ASAP!

Have a continued good time reading! 📖🐉

I thank @vsp@lemmy.world / @vsp@mastodon.world for this amazing new logo and banner for the socials!

If you are interested in sharing book recommendations with other, or just manage your books, then bookwyrm is great for that! The .world team also has a bookwyrm instance up and running at bookwyrm.world with a community here on lemmy as well at !bookwyrm@lemmy.world. Read Ruuds original post about it here: https://lemmy.world/post/5904792

If you want to join another bookwyrm instance, then head over to joinbookwyrm.com.

Anyway, it's a great place to find books, share books, and find people with similar interests in books! If there is anything that you feel needs to be improved or changed on the bookwyrm.world instance, then contact me!

EDIT - Mastodon account for the instance: @bookwyrmworld@mastodon.world

Heyo! Just a heads up that jelloeater added startrek.website to his lemmy status monitor. This means that you (the admins) can add a badge to the sidebar to show your uptime the last 24 hours, if you want. Basically, it's free status monitoring.

Bay!

As we see more and more bots on Lemmy World every day, it’s about time we publish a set of rules for bots and bot-owners.

So here goes:

• Bots shall not be used for any kind of advertising.

• The bot accounts must be clearly marked as a bot. Both in the bio and by marking the account as a bot.

• The owner of the bot and contact details must be mentioned in the bot’s bio.

• Bots are only allowed to post in communities they have the explicit permission from the community’s owners to do so.

• Bots from other instances that post in Lemmy World communities must follow the same rules.

• Bots shall not just be posting Reddit content.

• Bots shall not be “spammy”, as in multiple posts per minute.

• Breaking any of these rules will result in a ban for the Bot and, if required, its owner.

• Commands must use the bots mention as prefix, and not a text prefix like !help

These rules will be updated when needed.
