Privacy friendly alternatives to Goodreads? (aussie.zone)

Are there any good quality, open-source or community-driven alternatives to goodreads? Something which offers the same discoverability service for similar or related books, including the ability to wishlist and review?

https://bookwyrm.social/ though I imagine they don't have the algorithm for discovery and their user base isn't large enough to really make up for it yet.

Thanks! This looks promising, hopefully it becomes more active over time.

I just joined it to help the cause. I've been wishing for an alternative to goodreads for quite some time now

Tip:

Export your books from goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/import (at the top of the page)

Then import to bookwyrm at: https://bookwyrm.social/import/
