Thanks for the reply!
Although Mapstr wasn't built for my use case, it provides all the features I need, thanks. I can create multiple locations and give them a tag, and they automatically get shared to others.
I'll test this app in the following days/ weeks and hope it is what I was searching for.
On Owntracks I only see the option for sharing the coordinates. They don't get displayed on the map with an icon or something similar. I have to manually put the coordinates in google maps to see the location
Ohh that sounds great since I want to set up a nextcloud server anyway in the near future. I searched in the app marketplace of nextcloud for an app but haven't found anything matching...
There wasn't an app called osmplus, but OsmAnd. It is kind of what I searched, except I haven't found a feature for sharing with my family.
But thanks for your reply, it is the best app I tried so far.
ATAK may be a nice piece of software but the wrong app for my use case. It offers too many features I won't need, and the setup for it to work is probably too complicated.
I looked into Owntracks (just the app, haven't installed the server yet) and it looks more of what I was looking for. I tested the list of locations, but the location only gets displayed as coordinates and not on the map.
Eventually, I will see some more features when having a server, but idk. Is there like a public server, so I can play around before putting too much time in installing the server?
for images, i use squoosh.app. it is a webapplication and not a desktop app. it can compress, convert & resize various image types. it is opensource and running offline (locally on your computer). github
I like to tell IT newbies in their first year apprentice that sudo rm -fr / removes the french language from the root, since in Swiss Windows, french comes as second keyboard layout and sometimes you accidentally switch and nobody likes it.
Somethimes their first linux is a VM, lucky them, but not always:)
as a young IT with friends who dont know much about IT i have to say that most around 20 use reddit, instagram, ... cause its the only thing they know. everyone they know uses them and many of them want likes, ...
if they would join the fediverse:
they wouldnt understand how it works. what is a server? why choose an instance? its just too complicated
all their friends dont use the fediverse. they would be alone and have nobody who they can share things to
they would mostly see tech stuff and less in categories they are interested in
none of the people they follow on instagram are here. the cant follow their celebrities, ... and see their content
the fediverse still has to less users to be successful worldwide. its growing. and just like facebook in its first years, its growing slow.
=> give it a few more years and get your friends, family & collegues on here and see the fediverse grow
Im aware of that, thanks. Its just that all my friends & collegues still use Instagram. And if I quit there I dont have any contact over internet at all with them except for a few.
I also have a PixelFed account but dont really use it.
