Thank you. Of those I think JOSM is the most appealing, if it can directly show the results on the map. I'll give it a go later just out of interest.

I also gave osmium tags-filter a go and it's meeting my needs for now.

I spent quite a while browsing your brewery map earlier, very cool!

It is probably overkill for me at the moment, but it's good to know if my needs ever scale up dramatically. Thank you!

Thanks for the tip! Your assumptions are correct.

Someone else suggested osmium tags-filter on the downloaded PBF files (which are ~150 MB), and that's working well at the moment. I'll keep this in mind as I'm presuming that importing into a database will be more efficient in case I ever increase the size of the map I'm working with.

Thank you for the tips! I should have been more precise in my question. The downloaded maps are ~150MB, in PBF format (although I would have been happy to use any other standard format if needed). I went with osmium tags-filter in the end, and it seems to be working well.

Thank you, this is perfect! Lightweight and easy to set up.

I can fake it by sending you a message if anything good comes up :)

It's really hard. Here's my best shot:

A discussion platform for communities.

It is not OP claiming that. It is the description from the link preview.

It's an alternative to Lemmy with some different features. Since it uses the same protocol under the hood, its instances federate with Lemmy. There's more info on the differences here.

I get you. I can never think of anything that would be interesting to post or ask in the more discussion-oriented communities, let alone choose a specific one to post in. I definitely find comments easier, as well as posting to more niche communities. I feel the scope is usually better defined there.

Would you say it's about not knowing if your post would be accepted in the community, or just finding the best place for it? If it's the latter, AskLemmy could be good for general questions, or failing that, any of the casual chat communities such as !chat@beehaw.org.

As long as your post meets the rules of the community/instance, I feel it's better to post somewhere than not at all - people can always crosspost it elsewhere if they like.

You can trust the software in your distro's repositories (if you run a distro with well-maintained repositories). This is because, generally only well-known software gets packaged, the packager should be familiar with both the project and the code, and everything is rebuilt on the distro's own infrastructure, to ensure that a given binary actually corresponds to the source.

It might still be possible for things to slip through, but it's certainly much safer than random programs from online.

I independently thought of the same idea. While I'm daydreaming, I had some extra features that would be useful to me in a dream world:

• It would be good to be able to apply this to posts (that are not mine) as well, or even to a link (i.e. all comments that would show up under the crosspost aggregation feature)
• One problem I have with GitHub is that the subscription list perpetually grows and is never pruned.
  • It would be nice if I could make such subscriptions, for instance, automatically expire n days after the last interaction
  • Or, if there is a list of subscriptions somewhere, if I could manually "prune all whose last interaction is more than n days"
• I'm not sure what the best UI would be, whether everything should go in notifications, or whether there should be a dedicated view for these subscriptions
  • And, should that view show the whole thread underneath the top-level post you subscribed to?
  • Or just the "new" comments?
  • My feeling is the former, but not sure.
