@bookwyrm
I'd like to if I could've 🤷
Visa/MC are blocked for me. If you have BTC/ETH/XMR wallets, I can send you a couple of bucks.

By the way is there any progress with data export/import or migration?

I'd like to host my own instance, but I've created a lot of books on yours and I don't want to loose all that.

@skobkin We only have Patreon and OpenCollective, sorry!

There is an option to export and import your book data (it's in your user settings page), but it isn't a proper account migration yet

@bookwyrm
Will that option export the books I added with all of their metadata (description, ASIN/ISBN, image, authors)?

For example I've added multiple series of light novels on bookwyrm.social.

I can live with the fact that my followers wouldn't be automatically moved, but I need to move all the content at least.

@skobkin @bookwyrm hi, I'm a newbie here. Could you please explain in Russian how this thing works? I'm definitely a bookworm and looking for a new platform instead of goodreads or livelib

@blzvt
По сути, Bookwyrm - каталог и трекер книг, которые ты читаешь. Если книжки там нет, ты можешь импортировать ее из пары других популярных каталогов или вбить вручную.
Всю свою активность вроде "прочитал книжку X" ты можешь вести публично и она будет доступна видна в виде постиков на других платформах в федивёрсе.
Я бы еще мог сказать, что это такой MyShows для книг.

Можешь посмотреть, например, мой профайл как в браузере так и со своей ноды в феди:

@skobkin@lor.sh @skobkin@bookwyrm.social спасибо, выглядит как то, что мне нужно :) вижу, что сейчас регистрация закрыта, но на будущее: это отдельный аккаунт со своим логином и паролем, или можно скормить те, что есть? ну то есть 1 сервер = 1 акк, или они полностью связаны?

@blzvt @skobkin@bookwyrm.social
Отдельный аккаунт.
Федивёрс в текущем его виде не поддерживает (и не подразумевает) сквозную аутентификацию.

BTW, есть другие серверы кроме "главного" - так что спокойно можешь регаться на любом, что понравится.

@bookwyrm Found bookwyrm a couple of days ago and it seems like a wonderful alternative to goodreads. I didnt have much luck with the community instances however. When are you planning to open registration to bookwyrm.social?

@Pawys as soon as the performance is at an acceptable level again, it'll probably be a few more days for technical reasons but mostly for my schedule reasons

@bookwyrm I was actually wondering the other day if bookwyrm had seen the massive increase in traffic that mastodon has?
