BookWyrm is a Fediverse alternative to GoodReads.
They've just opened their onboarding site at:
https://joinbookwyrm.com
("Onboarding" is when you make it as easy as possible for people to join something.)
BookWyrm and its instances are currently still in beta testing, but you can join now if you want to try it out. Instances marked as "closed" mean you can join but you have to request an invitation.

•I tried to find a random user from bookwyrm.social/ from the mastodon instance that I am, but could get it.

•For example @mouse is viewable from Mastodon.

•Any idea why that could be?
mouse profile was https://floss.social/web/@mouse@bookwyrm.social
So I tried
https://floss.social/web/@thumb@bookwyrm.social
but it doesn't show up.

•One possibility is there was a bug on a recent version of Mastodon to do with long links to non-Mastodon platforms. I think it's been fixed on the latest version so perhaps when your instance updates these links might start working?
But as salt marsh says, looking up the username (AT username AT instance) should work too?

•But it definitely wasn't showing up despite multiple attempts earlier.
And even today I initially got a error 503 (I think it was 3 at the end) initially.
Perhaps the user will show up only after someone in my instance @ mentions them or something, maybe.

In the meantime, you can paste the link for the post into your search and then boost it.
