Bookwyrm - A Goodreads alternative that is part of the fediverse (github.com)

Goodreads is perhaps the best example of enshittification imo. It's only good now as a way to track your reading lists.

I tried bookwyrm today and it feels quite polished already, like giving you a guided tour of it's features. Hopefully it takes off as well similar to mastodon and lemmy.

I tried to import my books from Goodreads but it gives me a '413 Request Entity Too Large' error message. I could import them to Storygraph a couple of weeks ago with no problem though. Does anyone know a way?

Is this a humble brag for how many books you've read?

LOL sounds like it

No, I'm genuinely asking. Having read more books doesn't make you better in any way, it just means you sank more time into them. But I guess I understand how some would see my comment like that, since there's a lot of snobs and elitism among readers (at least, among the vocal ones)

Request entity too large does mean that the data you sent is too big for the server to handle.

I don't know if you could split in half your book list and import it in two parts, otherwise there is nothing you can do, except post an issue to their issues tracker, probably github.
