I thought I’d share this Mastodon bot - @SmallTownUSA - here as I’ve found it great fun.

Posting towns in the USA with a population less than 1000 that are undermapped on OpenStreetMap.org

I quite enjoy mapping areas that have nothing or very little mapped. This bot kind of helps with that. Although, I’d love another one for my home country and current country of residence.

      If I get a chance I’ll try help out there as well.

      but it starts to feel like a chore :s

      I find that this happens with me when I start trying to add too much detail from the start. I’ll get overwhelmed at how much there still is and then it feels like a chore.

      I’ve started just adding building outlines and then once that’s done I’ll go add some more detail to a couple places.
