This is clearly a dark road to go down and a terrible idea for the country. I personally couldn't be anymore against this.

That said should there not be stricter rules on titles on a news subreddit? A lot of the titles I've seen recently are clearly prejudiced or undescriptive.

I think it's important we maintain a high level of accuracy on news subreddits to limit the spread of misinformation.

Yeah I was always a boost user on reddit but there are too many bugs on the Lemmy version so I switched to Sync and have been very happy.

The UK doesn't have great solar energy potential because of the high latitude and general lack of sun. Wind is much more practical in this country however like solar it provides it's a non-stable energy source. To have a stable energy grid you ideally want a mix of stable and non-stable sources or non-stable sources and large battery storage facilities.

Hey I live in the UK and that's super helpful! Definitely a feature I'll need so will have to figure this out although the setup looks a little complicated at least for only moderately techy people

Hey, thanks for your answer. I'll have to look into OSM Go! and Every Door since they're not ones I've heard of

My first impression of OsmAnd was that it's cluttered and unintuitive so it's interesting to see how many people recommend it. Will try to tinker and see if I can get it to work for me.

Also magic earth and organic are both ones I'm gonna have to compare to find which suits me as my primary navigation app

Hey that's really helpful thanks. I've also had most of them installed the last week and just trying them out (except not driving).

I agree street complete is really easy for quick edits, also organic maps for editing in a similar way to Google maps e.g. adding business opening hours, or business websites etc.

It's interesting to learn Magic Earth is good for driving I may have to try it out. I'm currently mostly using organic for navigation.

Do you recommend using the advanced editing apps (Vespucci, OsmAnd) for editing or using the ID editor on the OSM website?

Yep turns out you're right, the Connect app seems to work with all the http links whereas the ! links don't work. On the Jerboa app it's the opposite so the ! links work but the http links don't.

For some reason the link posted by Ghostalmedia worked for me but the link posted by the bot didn't. Can anyone explain why? Is it just because I'm on the lemmy.world instance?
