Sounds like a really cool project, sadly i dont have much knowledge to contribute. Still, what kind of issues have you run into? Any specific errors or problems?

I think samsung is going with the year as the name now. They skipped to s20, but then have going with s21 s22 s23 etc.

thanks for the heads up, ill change that

update: I tried removing them, but it made it so the links no longer worked for me, so I put them back

Hmmm I am more of a sci-fi person, but I’ve definitely still seen some threads talking about fantasy books. I’m guessing you’re already on the main book communities like !books@lemmy.ml !literature@beehaw.org ? They are pretty active and I do see discussion on threads talking about fantasy books. There is also the fantasy community !fantasy@lemmy.ml – which does admittedly have pretty low traffic (though, you could be the change you want to see…). I found one niche community that was very recently made !cozyfantasy@wayfarershaven.eu

I get how hard it can be to find active book reading communities & wish I had more suggestions in the fantasy realm. If you have a specific sub genre in mind, search for it or maybe even make a community for it. I was surprised to find a few different scifi sub genres already had active communities on lemmy & even recently made communities are growing fairly quickly with the new users.

Good luck finding your next page turner & lmk if you want sci-fi recs :)

Edit: to add and un-add exclamation points

What genres are you looking for? There are a couple good communities, but youre right, not nearly as big or as niche as most subreddits. Though ive found the reccomendations to be higher quality when i do see them.

Im having the exact same issue. Im keeping bith apps on my phone atm so if one has issues I can hop on the other one
