Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I watch somebody's bookwyrm review from Mastodon, the post only shows a link to the review, not the body text (or almost an extract). But that doesn't happen with book comments. The comments are shown as text + link on Mastodon.

Describe the solution you'd like
I think it'll be nice to show both, book reviews and comments, as text + link on the rest of fediverse networks.

This is an issue at the other end: On BookWyrm Reviews are published as Articles, which vanilla Mastodon converts into Notes with a link.

It's up to each ActivityPub application how and whether they accept all Activity Vocabulary object types. GoToSocial and the Mastodon fork Hometown, for example, do display Articles (and therefore reviews) in full.

I agree that philosophically it's an issue with other services, but I don't think there's a downside to changing them to federate as Note instead of Article since that is handled more gracefully in the wider network
