@Unatributed @bookstodon I use Storygraph! Great recommendation algorithm, too!

@hp_bookcraft @bookstodon Honestly, that's kind of a negative for me. Sticking an algorithm that can manipulate my attention and choices into something like my reading is the antithesis of being in an open environment like Mastodon.

@Unatributed @hp_bookcraft @bookstodon I've been trying to import my books into #Bookwyrm for a week, but it fails every time. I don't think it's set up to deal with large transfers. It also seems to get very confused about a lot of books. Im sticking with Library Thing. It does exactly what I want.

@mayhawke @Unatributed @hp_bookcraft @bookstodon size of import shouldn't be a problem for #bookwyrm. We have had a user import 4000 books on our instance. It will run as a background process until complete. Yes, some books won't be found but that is due to the data sources available - data from publishers and ISBN agencies is not open data.
