Direct links since OP doesn't actually want to drive traffic to those sites and I do
Didn't know Goodreads was owneb by Amazon!
I didn't know Amazon owned GoodReads. I'll definitely have to try these out!

The weirdest thing to me about goodreads is Bill Gates actively posting there but only like 10 people interact with his posts
Does Goodreads have like...a community? I thought you just posted reviews and then called other people racist or woke depending on your personal politics.
It's social media for books. You can follow people and there is a feed
Bill gates posts there and nobody pays any attention to him which I find extremely strange
Maybe because it's "Bill Gates" posting, and probably not Bill Gates ?
No I think it's really him. Bill is obsessed with reading books
Yeah because he's a boring billionaire. People don't really have a boner to pick with him.
I say this with love, my friend: Bone to pick.

I really like storygraph. Every year or so I check on their progress for an api. It's on their long term roadmap and I'll be a happy person when it comes to fruition.
Only problem with Storygraph is that it's privately owned, just like Goodreads was. So as soon as Storygraph gets popular enough, it'll just get sold (probably to Amazon) and then you'll have to find another haven and start over once again. At least Bookwyrm is federated, like Lemmy.
Omg I had no idea it was from Amazon too
God dammit
If you just want to track what books you've read, like me, I highly recommend Jelu!
I never thought about a reading tracker but immediately went to searching for a selfhosted option when I read this post. Thanks for saving me the time!

Hey so thanks for this. Helped me find some actual good books. All I had to do was put in the things that I actually liked.
You know, it's actually kinda wild how much published stuff caters to only a few average points in society and disregards the rest.
Did you know that some people actually commercially publish omegv novels? I had no idea but it's like christmas!
Well shit. This is why we can't have nice things.
ohh thanks, just reminded me to wipe out my good reads account
