Trying out the fediverse for the first time today.

@clew right now it refers to content you put online, like photos and posts you make about your long distance bicycle adventures.
long term, I'd love to see a federated version of Strava. every year they cut down their api access further and further. but it's our data and we should be able to share with any external apps we want.
I'm trying to figure out how I can use the tools I'm building to expose more cyclists to the fediverse and help fuel that demand.
@spencexyz @clew you may want to take a look to wueride.bike and have a chat with @rolf

hey @Bonfire ! i saw this thread and thought you might be interested. there are currently solutions like OpenTracks for tracking physical activity statistics, but none have direct integration with ActivityPub for social sharing. A bonfire extension to integrate with an existing activity tracker could help many cyclists, hikers, runners, and more activity clubs migrate from Strava to communities on the fediverse
That'd be a cool extension indeed! Have you also looked at wanderer.to ?

Trying out the fediverse for the first time today. I've been reading a lot about it, now it's time to figure out how it works and build an internet home here.
My goal is to figure out how I can bring https://gobikecamping.com/ into the fediverse and help people who love bike touring own their data and escape the metaverse.
#NewHere #introductionWelcome @spencexyz
Consideration, kindness, and courtesy are key values here afaik. When you post photos, remember to add alt text for those of us who use screen readers.
Also , if you ever post photos of combustion engine vehicles, use the content warning to protect sensitive souls. -

@spencexyz regarding a federated kind of Strava, do you know https://wanderer.to/ ? It recently added federation support and does the social part of Strava well.
... which is why I'm currently not working on #WueRide which @emeline mentioned. @clew
... and I really like the idea of having a federated decentralized "POI thingy" like your campsites in the USA, but not limited to that

#NewHere #introduction@spencexyz welcome! I am pretty sure there will be plenty of folks with similar interests!

@spencexyz Welcome. Map looks good but also looks like it covers USA only? Good to see another bike person, you're gonna find a lot of people alike on fedi
@ati1 the map has US and Canada. It could take points from anywhere, I've just been adding stuff that I know right now and promoting in groups for US cycling routes.
-
@spencexyz cool! Please let me know how I can help. We have a Geosocial Task Force for ActivityPub work. Maybe you'd like to be involved....?
@evan this sounds really cool! I need to wrap my head around how ActivityPub works, so that I could more meaningfully contribute, but I'm definitely interested in joining.

@spencexyz @clew no and no. I came across it the other day and it was still in my tabs. the dev is here though
-
@spencexyz I suspect you’ve already found him, but if not it looks like @javahippie is the awesomeness behind FitPub.

@kaleb @haraldkliems do you have any recs for good alternatives?
