If I create and use a second Bookwyrm account, can I later move the first account to the second, or does it need to be fresh?

Looking for a new #Bookwyrm instance, since the @bookrastinating admin has ignored efforts to contact / support them. I'd donated in the past; I guess that data / profile is lost.

Do you enjoy reading books? There's a social reading platform on the Fediverse called BookWyrm, which is a free open alternative to Amazon Goodreads. Lots more info at:

BookWyrm lets you import your existing account data from other platforms including Goodreads, LibraryThing, StoryGraph, OpenLibrary and Calibre.
If you want to use BookWyrm's features you should join a BookWyrm server:

Well, #Fediverse systems like #BookWyrm and #NeoDB already allow for global search of media metadata.
I realize that storing actual PDFs and the like on such servers will require a lot more server capacity, but is the principle really all that different?
And there are plenty of independent digital libraries hosted by universities and research institutes, such as the MDZ (which I use a lot). But they use different software and generally only allow local search.
I feel that if there was a Fediverse approach to hosting and searching for such documents - one which private users could also host - then it would be a huge step forward for preserving our cultural heritage.

I can't help it, I love beautiful, modern, minimal designs. Most user interfaces just don't appeal to me. Book apps, in particular, often feel old-fashioned. There's nothing wrong with old things though; retro tech from the 80s and 90s has its own charm, and people really knew how to make beautiful things back then.
But bad UI is a different story, it's clumsy, built with off-the-shelf frameworks without much thought, and often lacks proper design guidelines, plan or structure. That's why I can't use Bookwyrm, for example.
I read a lot and have mostly been using https://getbookshelf.com on iOS along with a CSV file since leaving Goodreads. Right now, I'm checking out alternatives. Even StoryGraph doesn't quite do it for me. https://margins.app looks promising, and Bookcover is okay but missing some features.
So, if in another world I decided to make my own fork and app, contribute to Bookwyrm, and completely refresh its UI like I did for Mastodon with the Mastodon Bird UI - what would you think of that?
