It's not centralised at all, it's spread out on lots of servers just like Mastodon.

in reply to David Brent 📚 • • •I'm not sure, sorry! It's usually quite difficult to know about all the servers on a plaform. I'd guess... 100k?
But BookWyrm accounts can be followed by Fediverse accounts outside BookWyrm so the reach can be bigger than that.
