BookWyrm is the Federated GoodReads Replacement I Didn’t Know I Needed
(wedistribute.org)
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I went through the export from GoodReads and import to Bookwyrm, and was also disappointed.
I only had 2 books that wouldn't import, but once I was in, the lack of filtering and data-based lists was very meh. Maybe I'm missing something?
I know that recommendations require some data that might not be there, but there should also be data available already that is workable for a rudimentary Recommendations system:
I know Bookwyrm is open source, but I don't have the skills to write something like that 😕
(I've tried editing the horrible formatting of my suggestions, but they don't seem to be saving. I'll try again later)
