Technology

I've been using this for a bit and have some major complaints, the primary one being that reviews and books aren't shared across all servers. I'm still going to use it to track my reading, but the "social" aspect is straight limited from the start. I want to see ALL reviews for a book, not just the people I follow or the ones on the server I joined. How do you even find people to follow with that level of visibility?

This thread talks through it. https://fosstodon.org/@Brendanjones/110722850962870241

Edit: It's still way better than feeding your data into the maw of the ever-hungry Amazon, but I want it to be something I can recommend to my non-technical reading folks.

Thanks. Might give it a shot. Don’t usually track my reading, but if I do, I won’t be feeding that data directly to one of the Frightful Five.

Just made an account, and was glad to see an option to import from Calibre. My only gripe so far is that it's pretty bad at recognizing books with no ISBN registered. It seemed to think a ton of my books were Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows or The Fellowship of the Ring for some reason (or Marx's Capital in French).

I have tried it, but really I am pretty happy with Librarything. I think my main annoyance was the importer processing hardly any of my books.
