Hey there Mastodon!
I'm looking for and alternative to #GoodReads as technical issues are making it worse to use with each day that passes.
Anyone here is using #StoryGraph or #HArdCover ? Any opinions on one or the other?
@Tuttu I;ve been using @thestorygraph for 3 years next month, and love it. It keeps getting better and better. The stats are awesome if you like analyses of what you read, and the growing (strictly opt-in) focus on social features like buddy reads and upcoming book clubs allows for greater social interaction if that's your jam. The recommendations are EXCELLENT, I think close to 10% of the 400+ books I read last year were TSG recs. In summary, well worth a try
@ronsboy67 @thestorygraph Wow!
Thanks for the quick and detailed answer. 
From what I have seen so far between those two, I'm leaning more toward Hardcover at the moment because I like that it shows you all the series/saga that have the books you are looking at whereas StoryGraph seems to allow only one serie/saga per book.
But maybe I haven't looked at the right place yet. ^^
I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean, but series info is an area TSG has acknowledged needs work.Of the 1100+ books I've logged at TSG, I don't think ANY feature in more than series, so it may be an issue specific to the genres you read a lot "sagas" makes me think Fantasy is a favourite genre for you?
Obviously, if TSG doesn't fit your needs, I hope you find something that does. But keep any eye on TSG, because they're always adding new features

I'm more SF than Fantasy but I guess that still applies. I'm referring to this for example, with Ender's Game.
As you can see, Hardcover shows more series (Just like #GoodReads does) which is interesting when a given series is part of a whole universe.
I guess I will try both sites anyway and stick with the one that covers more of my needs.
@Tuttu @thestorygraph Ah, thanks for the clarification, especially using an example I have read. I personally don't think of Ender's or Speaker as belonging to multiple series, but I guess that's because I don't tend to read every book set in a given Universe. I stopped after Speaker, and with Dune I only read the first 3
@ronsboy67 @thestorygraph
It's funny that you mention Dune. I'm reading Hunters of Dune right now after having read the 6 "main" books and the Butlerian Jihad trilogy. ^^
