What are you liking about it? I haven’t yet come across anyone else who stuck with it
@zamallama @ramblingreaders @bookstodon I never stuck to Goodreads because it was so clearly commercial and corporate. I love that bookwyrm is a small community of folks who just want to keep track of books, and not be tracked by the site! There's no need to obsess over likes and numbers. I use it as a digital book list, nothing more.
Jill Minor@jillrhudy that's probably a questions the folks at @bookwyrm can answer better, but here is a screenshot of the import page in my bookwyrm settings. As well as the different import options. Hope that helps!

I just started with it in January but it does *exactly* what I want it to do.
It's a place for me to keep track of the books I've read this year.
I'm looking ahead to the end of year "What did you read?" question and want to have a comprehensive answer that doesn't include the 14 books everybody else will be talking about.
