@burgermeister@astrum.social no, thats a standard feature of BookWyrm. It has a ActivityPub interface like every other Fediverse Software. When I do updates in BookWyrm, those create ActivityPub feed items. People following my account would see those in their feed. I'm following my BookWyrm account from my Mastodon Account and boosting the BookWyrm posts as I have more followers on Mastodon ;)

He had been sent to the largest hospital in the city, where expert psychiatrists had been powerless to help him, although they had proposed a novel idea, which Luo Ji and the suburban officials helped carry out. As in Daudet’s “The Siege of Berlin,” or the old Golden-Age film Good Bye, Lenin!, why not fabricate a fictional environment in which humanity had failed?

One consequence of nuclear technology was that it allowed a country of just a few million people to pose a substantial threat to one with a hundred million, something that at one time had been practically impossible. One of his key points was that the advantages of a large country were only truly advantageous in low-technology eras and would ultimately be weakened by the swift pace of technological progress, which would meanwhile enhance the strategic weight of small countries.
