Tips
Export from GoodReads
If you want to try a GoodReads alternative, or just back up your data, you can export from GoodReads. On the GoodReads website, go to My Books > Import/Export and export a .csv file of your library. You can import that file into other places, like Storygraph.
Have Your Own Website
What's your link in bio? A link tree is a website. A blog is a website. If you don't have a website, you can make one! You can make it however you want, and put whatever you like on it.

Tips for Bookstagram and Bookthreads friends looking for alternative platforms
- The Nest is a book community run by OwlCrate. Here's my profile on The Nest.
- The Mastodon instance I'm on is book themed. Try it at Bookstodon.com.
- Pixelfed is a photo-centric platform similar to Instagram. I have a mirror of my booksta account on Pixelfed.
- I'm also starting to post my PinkBooksCoffee content on Bluesky and hang out over there more. I imported my booksta posts to a Bluesky account.
- You can use the Pinksky app for a more Instagram-style experience on Bluesky.
- Use OpenVibe or Croissant to cross-post between Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky.
