Love to see it. Mastodon is a trojan horse that companies are joining to keep up with technology, but it's taking the power out from underneath them. See what happened to Raspberry Pi after they moved to Mastodon and still tried to keep their community on a string :)
There was some silly drama because they shared something about a police officer who used their products. No doubt everyone forgot about that within a few days, thats how Masotodon is.
Just wanted to mention that, according to GNU, Bookwyrm is nonfree because of being licensed under ACSL. I don't know the implications of this license on forks.
To be honest, I do not care. It is important to have the right license, but the value of a software should not be conditioned by license bias. It is a matter that is not strictly and directly related.
Software comes first, license comes close, but still second to it.
I think this is an excellent idea, a worthy project, and I applaud you for putting some real thinking into practical steps!
My federated X wishlist had social media, reddit-like thing, instagram-like thing, and a youtube-like thing. A federated IMDB alternative would be awesome.
The question is whether the project should be forked into multiple separate projects at all. An alternative would be to have a generic "Directory Platform" and have modules to make it a Book Review platform, a Movie Database, or whatever-you-wanna-collect platform with another module. The modules would mostly be templates and data structures + user interface widgets to present them nicely.
