Goodreads is perhaps the best example of enshittification imo. It's only good now as a way to track your reading lists.

I tried bookwyrm today and it feels quite polished already, like giving you a guided tour of it's features. Hopefully it takes off as well similar to mastodon and lemmy.

I also use it for:

  1. check ratings and reviews.
  2. jump from a book to a series
  3. check if/how book is translated to another language
  4. rarely check book lists

And, TBH. I do not see benefits of making booksread federated. But, probably, I miss something important.
