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

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.
