Do you know there's a #fediverse alternative to Amazon-owned #Goodreads? #BookWyrm is a social network for tracking your reading, writing reviews, and discovering what to read next. You can follow and interact with users on different #BookWyrm instances and on #Mastodon. You can import from a Goodreads CSV export. You can create private shelves and curated lists. Join us at https://ramblingreaders.org or choose one of the other instances available #books #reading #bookstodon @bookstodon

@Remillard @bookstodon @Rainbright Hashtags on #Bookwyrm don't seem to work properly, unless that has been fixed. In theory though it ought to work as you say. Default hashtags for certain Bookwyrm events might be good too. I've not posted to Bookwyrm since following my account from kbin, so not sure how it works there.

I'll have to give it some time and see how things shake out. There are some growing pains with the Fediverse but I'd love a Goodreads alternative.

@Rainbright @bookstodon @Remillard @confusedbunny I was looking for a Goodreads alternative because I kind of cringe at the thought of Amazon getting more of my data than it already has. I landed on #TheStoryGraph. While I haven't had time to do a deep dive, I've been liking what I've seen so far. The export from Goodreads was pretty simple.

I don't know if that's the answer you're looking for - It's not part of the Fediverse - but at least it's not making Jeff Bezos richer. #Bookstodon

@dbsalk @Rainbright @bookstodon @Remillard @confusedbunny Just to add another option. :)

I like Bookwyrm and Storygraph (use both because I too am on the hunt for a GR alternative) but am really liking Hardcover.app.
