@PFCOGAN There are plenty, but it doesn't matter where you start. New writers to medium should check out @bookstodon for general interest. There are others for varied interests, including @smutstodon for erotica
Welcome!
@BBC_News_Labs Why don't you have a main @ BBC or BBCNews account like you do on Tw*tter? That seems like the first thing everyone would be looking for.
@BBC_News_Labs@NIH_LLAMAS What are your metrics for it going well? If it's views/followers/engagement then you won't get much until you offer things that people want, like BBC News.
@MishaalRahman@9to5google@android
have they made Google assistant dumber and dumber on purpose?! I said snacks. It heard snakes?! Even Gboard understands. Hell, even YouTube understands what I'm asking for!
I even tried to retrain my voice. BUT NOOOO😭

Time for another Touhou hijack. This time it's this cooking action/sim! It's liked by a lot of people even if they're not particularly into Touhou. I highly recommend it. Very unique game.
#GameInfekt - Das Spiel ist soooo hübsch! Erinnert total an ältere JRPGs und der Charme kommt echt gut rüber. Der Soundtrack ist auch super. Freue mich schon sehr auf den Release Ende August. 💗
Magic Earth is an alternative to Waze and Google Maps with crowdsourced traffic and road hazard information
As part of a #BigTechDiet, I've been hoping to find an alternative to #Waze and #Google Maps - a navigation app that can tell me about slowdowns, hazards, and speed traps based on reports from other users. Today, I learned about Magic Earth.
It's proprietary, but not from FAANG or a company subject to the government of China, Russia, or Five Eyes countries. It collects minimal user data and has a good privacy policy. There are versions for both Android and iOS, and the Android version works without Google services.
I would say just buy TomTom Go, only 20 euros a year and no Google BS. Or if you really don’t want to pay use Amigo, it’s also from TomTom with the same life traffic etc.
My post about communick on @fediverse was unfeatured and I got a 3-day ban for "advertisements".
The post was well received and had 100+ upvotes. I've written it after someone found a comment of mine and said more people could be interested.
I did talk about communick a lot on that community, but my participation was far from spammy. I also subscribed to plenty of other communities and kept any communick-related comments to the "right" place.
