   Do you use the Fediverse's social reading platform @bookwyrm?

   Would you like to bring your data from GoodReads, LibraryThing, StoryGraph, OpenLibrary or Calibre and import it into BookWyrm?

   Here's how:

   1. Log into the site you want to export your data from (GoodReads, LibraryThing etc), and download your data as a CSV file.

   2. Log into BookWyrm, click on your profile icon and then Settings.

   3. Click on Data > Import

   4. Choose the type of data source you want to import (GoodReads, LibraryThing etc.)

   5. Click Browse, and select the CSV file you want to import from your computer or phone

   6. Choose your privacy setting for the imported file

   7. Click Import

   If you're unfamiliar with BookWyrm, you can find out more at https://joinbookwyrm.com

     @wolf_witte @bookwyrm

     ?

     By the way, I'm not on GoodReads, but is that definitely the CSV file of your reviews that is being exported?

     Maybe it's a request for all the data they have on you?

     (I mean, either way it's a ridiculous delay though!)

     @feditips @bookwyrm this is great. What's even greater is the tremendous speed of Goodreads processing my request ?

     @feditips @bookwyrm you're right, it some other larger data batch.

     The export of books was actually super easy and is documented here: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/How-do-I-import-or-export-my-books-1553870934590

     @feditips @bookwyrm and it worked amazingly well: 280 items, 35 failed to import, 3 items need manual approval. More than satisfactory. https://bookwyrm.social/user/wolfwitte
