Discussion
Goodreads removed RSS and some people are asking for alternatives on Reddit; maybe worth pointing to BookWyrm and NeoDB?
Goodreads removed RSS and some people are asking for... #fediverse #goodreads #bookwyrm #neodb #rssfeeds
Both fediverse softwares that support user reviews for books, both have RSS support natively (no Piefed/Misskey bridge needed), and some comments also seem discontent with Amazon's mismanagement overall.
Maybe try Storygraph
comment violates rule: Stay on-topic to the Goodreads app/website - Book recommendations, discussion about Goodreads alternatives or proposed improvements to Goodreads, surveys/school projects, and general discussion of reading as a hobby are all considered off-topic.
I don’t think the mods there are going to let you.
If people are asking, it’s worth the 12 seconds it takes to post a link to a BW instance. They should just make sure it’s to a general instance, and not to a server selection page.
Hadn't seem. RIP.
Well, made a post elsewhere. Don't think anyone follows me there, but hopefully serves at least as a bump.
Probably a good idea indeed!
Yes! Also the December release of Catodon will support both Bookwyrm and NeoDB reviews. I know that people are looking for a suggestion for now, but we need a month (although it will come sooner in develop, in November).
Openlibrary.org?
Skimming through it, it doesn't seem to be as accessible for reviews though.
Hardcover seems decent enough.
@Auster@thebrainbin.org Bookwyrm and NeoDB are both awesome alternatives to GoodReads, with NeoDB offering far more than just books.
The only downside is that Kindle directly integrates with GoodReads, I'm not sure there's been any independent efforts to integrate alternatives into e-readers.
