Yea that's a downer that Bookwyrm is still kinda centralized. 😒

Just curious, about how many BookWyrm users are there?

I'm not sure, sorry! It's usually quite difficult to know about all the servers on a plaform. I'd guess... 100k?

But BookWyrm accounts can be followed by Fediverse accounts outside BookWyrm so the reach can be bigger than that.

@halfbakedkitcat BookWyrm is screen reader friendly. In 2017 I worked with the developer for almost a year on making improvement so it is very much screen reader friendly

@WeirdWriter can you have a reading goal on there like goodreads? also, can you import your goodreads content and kindle content cause, kindle and audible are what I use to read.

Oh this is amazing! I just wasn't quite sure if Kindle even had the option of exporting to CSV. I have an Audible account and wish they would give us a native option to export our library listings into CSV. I use Libation to export library data but will share this page going forward! I knew about the CSV import, I just didn't know how far the CSV support went! @FediTips @halfbakedkitcat

it's a good service. I've been using it for maybe 1.5 years and haven't missed Goodreads at all.

If you add an @ at the start it will be clickable within Mastodon 🙂

Thank you for sharing. This is great! I dropped Goodreads right after it was acquired by Amazon and haven't been connected socially with other readers for a long time. I just registered an account at BookWyrm (@JulieReads), and look forward to exploring its options and finding & connecting to like minded readers.
