OpenStreetMap community@lemmy.ml•Is there a free, idiot-friendly way to export a custom area of the map as a PNG/JPEG in other styles than on the offical website?English
2·2 years agoThere’s a way to embed a map in the article itself. See
page for information on how to do that.
Otherwise I am unaware of a tool that allows for a PNG or SVG export or OSM data.

6·2 years agoThey go to nearly everyone.
If I on instance a report a post on instance b made by a user on instance c, all three instances’ admins will receive the report, as well as the community on instance b.
It’s kind of a mess, and definitely overkill.

JackFromWisconsin@midwest.socialtoLemmy@lemmy.ml•Are communities server-specific? i.e, is the "Gaming" community on lemmy.ml different from the one on, say, beehaw.org?
3·3 years agoThat’s right. [email protected] is different from [email protected]
Note that you can use your same account to subscribe to both of them, as one may be more active than the other. Feel free to pick one or both it doesn’t really matter. Different websites/servers have slightly different rules and different culture, so the posts and comments will be slightly different community to community.
