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 @clew you may want to take a look to wueride.bike and have a chat with @rolf
@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!

That'd be a cool extension indeed! Have you also looked at wanderer.to ?
-
@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.

@evan amazing, thank you!

@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?
-
@spencexyz howdy ho and welcome to the fediverse and be sure to follow hashtags to find your tribes

@spencexyz @kaleb I think other people have pointed you to wanderer.to already. But I think a lot of the campground info would be much more useful in @openstreetmap. But maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do with your platform.

@haraldkliems @kaleb @openstreetmap the platform started out just POIs on a map. I found it hard to use open street maps to view the data I wanted about the campgrounds. In the future, I'd like to have the platform sync with OSM so people can see the data in other places.
right now I'm exploring other functionality for the site similar to things that https://www.crazyguyonabike.com/ has. But modernized with new functionality that I would like to have.
