Heyo! Small update from someone who is watching the upgrade live; it's ongoing still. Seems like they are still facing some performance issues. So grab your popcorn and wait! 🍿 (Btw, i am not a sysadmin, just a moderator)
Hey there! Thank you for bringing this up! As the user @PriorProject@lemmy.world says, the normal route for community "takeover" is to report them to us, and ask for the community that you want. I also see that you didn't want any of the communities, but thanks for reporting it! I've just now taken this up with the internal admin team :)
Bookwyrm is specifically made for booksharing and book reviewing. While lemmy is more general. For instance, this is a link to the "a game of thrones book" https://bookwyrm.world/.... Here you have reviews of the book. You can also add that book to your "to read" list aswell.
As @ConTheLibrarian@lemmy.world says, 0.18.x wil fix this issue, but it is not optimized enough for larger instances such as lemmy.world. You can also sort by the top of the day, week, month, year, and all posts.

I only use reddit when looking at the current blackout and api situation. I am also sharing the word of lemmy and the fediverse to users who don't know what it is. But i no longer browse trough reddit, only on lemmy. More specifically the jerboa app on Android.
I think that is a problem with the current back-end version of Lemmy (0.17.4). I belivie that this is fixed in 0.18.0, but Lemmy.world has not been able to upgrade to it, as it is, presumably, badly optimized for larger Lemmy instances such as Lemmy.world.
My take is that this is way better than expected! This server was originally just a side project for LW, but has become my main focus. Its incredible how much a community can do on their own with limited rules! And I am so happy to see that all the "old school" players still play on the server! We have had minimal griefing, and that is especially above our expectation. Have this server been a Reddit server, then there might have been some more trolls and griefers. What is also fun is that not everyone on the server uses lemmy.world, or lemmy at all!
Yeah. It is kinda "lacking" in the terms of reviews. But for each goodreads people that join, the more reviews and books we get, as you can import your goodreads library. And knowing the fediverse, it won't be that long, I hope ;P
thanks for using Leebra!
