If this is the PeerFed you meant, I'm guessing the answer to both these questions is 'no';

Although I do find this concept intriguing;

Thanks, I'll have a look. Having editing it in the map app I already use sounds good.

This sounds powerful. Would you recommend it for a beginner?

I have ADHD. If I can't do it right away when I notice the problem, I'm unlikely to remember. So what I need is an Android app that makes it quick and easy to submit an update (with appropriate license) whenever I notice a discrepancy.

Are these available on F-Droid?

@MapAmore
I use @openstreetmap a lot, via #OSMAnd+, and I'd love to give back to the map commons. The biggest problems I see are not with the basic data (streets etc), since the NZ govt's own map data is released under CC license, and updates to it are quickly imported into #OSM.

Rather what I see is outdated info about what can be found at a given address. Any advice of helping to update that kind of data? Is it part of OSM or other data commons used by OSMAnd+?

> I recommend actually looking at what it looks like on the site, it’s extremely different then how it looks on mastodon

Yes, I'm familiar. I've been following Lemmy development for several years, as part of research for fediverse.party. That's the background to my comments about the algorithm determining what appears on a Lemmy front page.

If you're proposing that there's a more complicated algorithm at work, what do you think it is?

@regalia
> Are you replying from Mastodon right now

Yes. Here's the post you just replied to, on the public-facing web page of the Mastodon server I use:

@regalia
> the algo for active/hot favor large communties, so smaller ones tend not to show up on the front page

I presume it's the same as what determines which posts appear on the front page of a Mastodon server; chronological order of posts. That would favour the larger communities, since people post there more often.

The other limiting factor, I presume, is a Lemmy server only knows about the communities its accounts are members of. Larger communities will have members on more servers.

@regalia
> our algo doesn’t do a good job of promoting smaller communities

Lemmy has an algo for that?
