The Fediverse's social reading platform BookWyrm lets you import your account data from Goodreads, LibraryThing, StoryGraph, OpenLibrary or Calibre. There are step by step instructions for how to do this here:

If you're wondering what the heck BookWyrm is, it's a Fediverse alternative to Amazon's Goodreads. There's an intro article here:

The one thing holding me back from fully switching over from Goodreads is the integration with Calibre, specifically syncing read status and finished books. Is this something that’s being worked on, to your knowledge?

@Qwaint

I couldn't find anything on their Github specifically about Calibre read status. If you're comfortable using Github, maybe you could raise it as an issue?

in reply to Andreas Svensson

Is it just the read percentage sync you're missing? Might be worth focusing on that if it's the only thing missing?

By focusing on just one specific thing, it will make developers more likely to deal with it :)

You shouldn't install unauthorized equipment on a Navy ship…

But if you do, you definitely should turn off the SSID broadcasting. You can have hidden Wifi networks that won't show up and you have to press "Other" and enter the name manually to connect. It could still be found, but it wouldn't be so plainly obvious. People probably wouldn't have looked for it and it wouldn't have popped up on people's phones.

Good evening Squirrel Fans.

I don’t know about you dear Peeps, but I feel that the Universe currently needs an extensive therapy session!:

“It also appears that creators sometimes favor the Big Bang method of universe construction, and at other times use the more gentle methods of Continuous Creation. This follows studies by cosmotherapists which have revealed that the violence of the Big Bang can give a universe serious psychological problems when it gets older.”
- Terry Pratchett, Eric

Where ever you are in your day I hope you’re enjoying it! 😊🫶🐿️🖖
