It's a really nice app for openstreetmap data, beautiful even. I also find the UI really nice and uncluttered and intuitive to use. Best of all: allows you to contribute to openstreetmap directly inside the app!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)
Glad I could answer!
Yeah I had no idea either how bad it was until another user on lemmy pointed out the company that has been set up by the owners, and then one day @Sunshine@lemmy.ca posted the open letter in !organicmaps@sopuli.xyz.
And other good news: the community fork developers (who also were trusted and long established contributors of OM) allowed us to make the lemmy community !CoMaps@sopuli.xyz an official community! They participate in that community too!
What the hell. That is kinda neat but annoying in this case.
Try to browse this community (on mastodon the hashtag #fedimemes) and find this post, then click on the post to see this thread:

I hope the tag search doesn't also redirect to lemmy since its not specifying the lemmy instance in the url.
And sorry about answering you directly instead of editing the above. I believe lemmy pings the users i've tagged if I edit the post and I don't wanna annoy everyone.
Edit: words
@metaStatic@kbin.earth @cm0002@lemmy.world @atro_city@fedia.io
They kinda have threads, it's a bit of a different format and they don't have communities really. check this current post out on mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@cm0002@lemmy.world/114678153485329034
If you don't include the names your comment appears as a standalone toot under cm0002's post.
The communities on lemmy are actually hashtags on mastodon. cm0002 made this post under their own profile and hashtagged the "community" (fedimemes).
Edit: corrected myself
I love it when you got mastodon, lemmy, and friendica users in the same thread all just having a discussion. Really feels like an open network and what internet should be.
@metaStatic@kbin.earth @cm0002@lemmy.world hey now don't forget that the deeper you go in a comment chain the more names you need to tag!
I guess it's not a big deal to someone who wasn't using / aware of OrganicMaps, but it is huge to us who loved OM.
The community is incredibly disappointed of the owners of the project (shareholders, original developers) when the volunteer force of the open-source map application wrote a revealing openletter to the owners.
The owners had been misusing the donations / funding of the project - as well as possibly (honestly, most likely) planning to sell out after years of people giving the project their free time (there is much more to this, but I'll keep it short. See the openletter for more info)
CoMaps is a community fork of OrganicMaps, so it is incredibly exciting that the FOSS volunteers have been able to fork the project, set up and organize everything, and are going forward at this speed!
It truly shows the power of FOSS and how companies can't just take something away from all the people who contributed for free and out of passion.
Hope that answers your question! :)
Edit: added more context.
Agreed! Since we have bean memes that come and go, we could also have that!
Yup, and lemmy has grown a lot since then. Incredible how time flies!
Dark Souls kingdoms always make me imagine what daily life was like before shit went down. So pretty.
Happy cakeday @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz!
Thank you! You too recursive_recursion, hope you can get some mental relief and feel better! :)
