Is it worth using bookwyrm over open library? (lemmy.ml)

In Bookwyrm there are way too many duplicate authors and books, and a way to merge them is unclear.

Open Library seems to offer a more unified and consistent database.

I agree it is really annoying (the duplication issue). Have devs thought of a solution?. You can manually sort of merge by adding multiple ISBN’s together but it isn’t a proper workaround.

Would be better to have multiple instances of the same book possibly, but the reviews get merged?
