A sometimes annoying design choice of the Fediverse is that it isn't great at facilitating a singular identity across platforms. There's no easy way to have your Mastodon account linked to your Bookwyrm account in a way that says "Hey, this is the same person".
Instead, the focus is on making sure that you don't need to make a hundred accounts on different types of servers to do basic things like following, commenting, and ⭐ing stuff. So, if you really like @/alice@/bookwyrm.example then you can follow them and see when they post new reviews on your feed. You can ⭐ a particularly funny review they made to notify them that you like it. You can boost that review so your friends will see it. You can do all of that from your Mastodon account without creating a Bookwyrm account at all. You would only need a Bookwyrm account to post your own reviews of books or that kind of thing.
