Privacy friendly alternatives to Goodreads?
Privacy friendly alternatives to Goodreads?
Are there any good quality, open-source or community-driven alternatives to goodreads? Something which offers the same discoverability service for similar or related books, including the ability to wishlist and review?
https://bookwyrm.social/ though I imagine they don't have the algorithm for discovery and their user base isn't large enough to really make up for it yet.

Export your books from goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/import (at the top of the page)
Then import to bookwyrm at: https://bookwyrm.social/import/

Fantlab for the Russian-speaking community. Couldn't find anything better on the Anglosphere internet.
LibraryThing for English-speaking people. I use it for the rest.

1 0 ReplyLibraryThing best the best algorithm to choose new books, better than GoodReads, at least for me. So having LT for finding new books is great.
For tracking I love Mateusz Bąk's app OpenRead, great UI on mobile.
