As title. Even better if whatever you use also helps with recommendations! I’ve been mostly using Goodreads, but Bookwyrm looks like a neat decentralized alternative. Does anyone have any experience with it?

I found Bookwyrm to be too much work, because most of the books I read weren’t on there so I have to manually add everything. Also the instance I was on was horribly slow.
That was my experience too. I often read 100+ books per year, and it’s just too much work to manually add every detail of half of those.
That’s why I backed off one of my attempts to migrate off goodreads, too. Yeah, it was easy to export and easy to import the list of books, but when there’s 100 of them that are horrendously wrong at the end of the process it’s just too much work.
I’ll wait to do that kind of work until I’m ready to fully self host so I can pick and choose what to include and how to structure and organize them all.
Oof that sounds like it could get tedious. I suppose this is something that might be solved as more people use it, and it builds up an internal catalogue of books?
