Mine would be creating pen and paper ciphers for my made up secret communication needs.

    Contributing to OpenStreetMap. I try to bring it up because it would be great to get more contributors to the project, but either I have to explain “It’s Wikipedia, but a map” or they come out with misunderstandings about the project that aren’t worth correcting. E.g not liking the icons used to display points on the map.

      I also started this recently, it’s quite a relaxing way to contribute to a very useful project, often in a way that is unique to your local area meaning that your contribution has quite some value despite it’s small size.

      I want to try this. I even downloaded the apps to do it a little while back and opened them, but I realized that I need to do some reading up on it before I start knocking about. I just need to take the time to learn this. I’ve joined the OpenStreetMap community on Lemmy too.

        Just in case you did, don’t get started with ‘Vespucci’ it’s aiming to be a tool for people already deep into OpenStreetMap. I’m three years in and it baffles me frequently. StreetComplete is amazing and Every Door and OSM Go! Are very usable. If you’re on iOS, this whole post is irrelevant. I’ve not used those apps.

      what kind of process do you go through to make a contribution? I could probably be into that.
