For those who don't know, Bookwyrm is basically a better, federated Goodreads. Because it speaks ActivityPub, you can subscribe to someone's Bookwyrm feed from directly in Mastodon and see the book reviews they post!

Also there are 2 spots remaining in the Bookwyrm patreon to pay $40/mo and support the project in a huge way *and* have @tripofmice run a server for you and 50 of your bookwormiest friends: https://www.patreon.com/bookwyrm

@darius @tripofmice I looked but didn't see - is there a way to import from Goodreads (or another book reading/library tracking tool into Bookwyrm? I have a decade of longer of tracking my library in Goodreads which is hard to give up as it is very useful (I'm also more into Goodreads for my own tracking than for seeing other's reviews though I do like seeing them when from friends)

Moving my book tracking to BookWyrm

Since Goodreads was bought by Amazon I’ve been trying to find a replacement for my book tracking. Last year I moved over from Goodreads...

@darius @tripofmice thanks. I’ll take a look. I suspect my db might be challenging but I’ll see how it works (I have a fair number of obscure books amongst my shelves). I’m also curious if the import retains ratings/reviews/read times (including multiple reads) of the books when imported. But that will in part be a factor of what data Goodreads exports as well as the import process.
