How many of you are using Bookwyrm (federated alternative to Goodreads)? (self.books)

I recently discovered Bookwyrm and am really liking it. It's not quite as full-featured as The Storygraph or Goodreads but it covers all of the most important functionalities and it's federated which I appreciate. Something that it is missing Vs either The Storygraph or Goodreads at the moment is volume of reviews (ie. Volume of users.) However, your review won't get lost in the sea so much and I've found that it's been quite easy to find readers with similar interests.

Anyway, who here is using Bookwyrm? What's your account so we can all follow each other? (Mine is [email protected])

I'm [email protected] and I'm mirroring all my Goodreads reviews on BookWyrm.

Just followed! Have you found a way to automate the mirroring or is it manual? I'd love to be able to automate between Goodreads, The Storygraph and Bookwyrm!

Goodreads lets you export all your history as a CSV file, which BookWyrm can then import. From that point on, I manually post everything twice.

I did do the history import and it mostly worked. Guess I'll have to try and figure out an auto-relay thing myself but it's probably far beyond any programming skills I have.

@carturo222 @Knoll0114 There's a feature request to sync data between Bookwyrm and Goodreads - https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/issues/2859
