🌎 🌍 🌏 I'm working on a #map of #Mastodon servers "near me" basically mapping servers that are region-specific, as a way for folks to find Mastodon users in their region. Blue = signed on to the Mastodon Covenant, Green = I"m not sure they did.
This is my first time using #openstreetmap so I'd be grateful of any and all feedback, and offers to collaborate - I assume I can share the map for editing somehow 🤷
Here's the link: http://u.osmfr.org/m/550053/
#mastoadmins
#mastoadmin if you run a region or locale-based server, please let me know so we can add to the map at http://u.osmfr.org/m/550053/
@alexevon thanks mate, what's the region or locale?
@jaz Atlanta, GA, USA
@alexevon I can't get the site to load, can I pleaese confirm the URL? http://social.aiqwest.com/ is not working for me
@jaz that should work. The CDN will force you to an ssl connection
@alexevon Got it, thanks!
@jaz For the Netherlands https://mastodon.nl/about
@xvilo thanks mate, added it
@jaz https://nrw.social
It's for North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany.
@dbeaver Danke! It is now added.
@jaz hi you can add tooting.ch with physical location in Lausanne Switzerland
@tursiops merci bien/thank you it is now added!
@jaz mastodon.scot for, erm, Scotland! 🙂
@jaz What data do you need to add a node?
@t3rr0rz0n3 just tell me the server and the locale or region it is intended to serve. and optionally if it's signed on to the Mastodon Server Covenant or not.
@jaz The node is mine, which I am admin, is called Xarxa.cloud and you can put it next to mastodont.cat (in Catalonia). It's a regional node.
@t3rr0rz0n3 afegit, gràcies!👍
@jaz Greetings from Hertfordshire

Still early days of a setup on this server so not the most exciting posts. Plus just me for now.
@bumblebee no worries mate. For the time being the map is intended to help people find servers to join "near them", so while I love that you're working on your instance, I'll keep it off the map until you're open for business and targeting the area - general instances aren't going to be on the map. Batten down for Christoph!
@jaz darmstadt.social is for, well Darmstadt in Hesse, Germany ;)
@w4tsn Danke, Darmstadt hinzugefügt 🇩🇪 👍
@ij @w4tsn it seems we are on track to have one #Mastodon server for every household in #Deutschland. This is a good thing™️
osna.social wurde hinzugefügt, danke 👍
@lisbonjoker

Hi @jaz !
I'm running this instance : https://mastodon.fedi.bzh

@ewen merci bien, c'est fait, et d'un Gallois a un Gaulois - salut ! 👍
@jaz Dreist 😁 (Super !)
@jaz
Hi, my server instance at Auxerre, Yonne, France
@papaeng89 alors c'est fait, merci. J'ai passe deux semaines a Auxerre/Tonnerre quand j'avais 13 ou 14, c'etait tres jolie! C'etait mon premiere fois en France.
@jaz
Merci, si tu repasses. Tu es le bienvenu 😉
@jaz immermusik.de for Münster, Germany.
@thomas Hi Thomas, the map is for open registration servers only, are you accepting new members?
@jaz oh, sorry. AS Long AS I dont know how to be compliant to gdpr and those things, I wont accept registrations.
@thomas I am not a lawyer, but article 4.18 of GDPR states you must be engaged in an "economic activity"; and the personal and household exemptions apply to undertakings with “no connection to a professional or commercial activity”. So, certainly a grey area, but if I were flying solo and not charging anyone, I would personally presume I am not subject to GDPR.
@jaz Do add us at indieweb.social based out of DC area in US.
@tchambers hi Tim, thanks for the link, I'm focussed on locality and indieweb.social seems to be topical, not locality. I read your about page etc., I don't see the DC connection, am I missing it?
@jaz Ah got it, you are correct, indieweb.social is not a "local" focused instance in our topic. Sorry for my confusion.
@tchambers no worries at all, I'm enjoying being exposed to so many servers I was unaware of!
@jaz Can you add fulda.social?
Located in Fulda/Hesse, Germany?
@jaz I have one of these! #TriangleTootParty is located in Raleigh/Durham/Chapel-Hill, North Carolina, USA.
@autumn already got you covered 😃
