In case you missed it, there is now a Fediverse alternative to Strava called Wanderer:

➡️ wanderer.to

There is a public server list at:

➡️ wanderer.to/servers

To sign up on a server, click on "Create Account", then "Login", then "Make One".

If you're running your own public Wanderer server you can add it to the list at github.com/Flomp/wanderer/disc…

Techy people can self-host using instructions at wanderer.to/run/installation

Hi everyone, Now that wanderer supports federation, I've set up a public server discovery page to help people find and join existing instances. If you're running a wanderer server and would like it...

It's not quite the same as strava. This is less about activity tracking, and more about recording and sharing trails.

For someone like me who runs along the same location most times I run, in a paved urban area, there isn't much in the way of trails for me to reveal!

Yeah, that's fair enough.

Mainly compared it to Strava as there is an option for importing data from existing Strava account, but yeah it's not exactly the same.

Also character limit made it difficult to explain in full 😁

@ada For future reference, perhaps a better comparison is AllTrails, though it’s still slightly less known than Strava

fabulous! But how is this different from or better the Organic Maps effort? organicmaps.app/donate/

I don't think they're intended for the same purpose?

Organic Maps is a navigation app, whereas Wanderer is for recording and sharing trails. Wanderer is more like a social networking kind of thing.

@edupont_clearly and for what it's worth, as I was about to do my rounds of donating to some of the FOSS apps I use (inc Organic Maps), I spotted (via @itsfoss ) that due to governance issues and community concerns, Organic Maps had been forked into CoMaps and had just been released. Having read up on the situation, I exported my Organic Maps data, installed CoMaps and imported my data there and then uninstalled Organic Maps. Worth letting others know I thought. comaps.app/about-us/

and yet I still don’t get why a privacy aware/alternative to- application is hosted on GitHub and has a Discord server ? 🤷🏻‍♂️

If #LocusMap can be persuaded to support them, I might use them (Locus Maps will upload GPS tracks to #Strava and #OpenStreetMap amongst others)

I couldn't add anything to Github, it belongs to Microsoft.
I really don't understand all those people here, posting on privacy respecting Mastodon and then doing advertisements for Microsoft.

Anyways it looks kind of cool to me! I'm interested to see where this goes :)

Great initiative, and the app looks promising! I'm considering running an instance. Anyone knows if there's a plan to develop a mobile app to go along?

I'm not sure how the options on that list are chosen.

Maybe the lead developer @flomp can comment?

Haha, yeah that needs some refinement. For now, it just lists whatever the people running the server tell me the region should be. Once the list grows bigger, I will make the categories a bit more sensible ;)
