Why YSK: It’s a really cool challenge where each day people post their map interpretations of the theme of the day (points, lines, etc. - see graphic). You can learn a lot and see cool and unexpected data. The challenge is happening on all social media platforms, but I’m specifically mentioning Mastodon for obvious reasons… follow #30DayMapChallenge on there!
What? It must be my birthday!
I don’t go on Mastodon though. Is there a way I can play from Lemmy?
Edit: I just made a community for it. Post your maps here lemmings https://lemmy.world/c/30daymapchallenge
It’s so amazing you created a community for this! Make sure to post it on New Communities, I am sure people will subscribe and contribute.
Yeah, I’ll prob make a map tonight just to not miss day one. Day job keeping me busy.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !newcommunities@lemmy.world
I think there technically might be, but it would involve making an account at different Masto instances to pull your content to each individual instance.
You’d also miss out on most others creations if you try to connect your Lemmy account to mastodon, Lemmy doesn’t support hashtags. That’s vital for Masto use IMO.
From Masto it’s quite different, you can easily follow users and there’s services that allow admins to sub to hashtags from unfederated instances so you’d get a whole different visibility. I convinced mine to sub to #cartography and #maps so I get any post tagged with them, even if our instances are unconnected.
Could be worth the time to make a Masto account just for this, it’s for the full month you know. 🤓 The cartographer community seems a lot bigger on mastodon as well, they even have special interest cartographers like https://mastodon.social/@ConspiracyOfCartographers.
I do wish they’d come to Lemmy though, this platform is much better for topic-focused posts and discussion. Mastodon is more like a social network with a lot of noise to signal.
Sounds like twitter,
Then they succeeded since mastodon is a twitter clone. 😂
So instead of Twitter without all the bullshit it’s the bullshit without all the Twitter.
Yeah I could just never quite catch what people saw in Twitter. It felt like a bunch of people talking out loud to themselves in a big room.
I’ve always thought of twitter as a gossip platform.
To be fair to Mastodon, the users that was always fed up with the BS but had nowhere to go moved to Masto ASAP. And those fed up with Elon have been trickling in for a while as well.
The federationwide community is very different compared to twitter.
