Also Cant see anything about acouch to 5K being open source either and its a NHS BBC collaboration . https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/get-running-with-couch-to-5k/

Is NHS weight loss app open source ( I mean its free and paid for by the National Health Service ij the UK so probably shoukd be ) https://www.nhs.uk/better-health/lose-weight/

Given that you can add Lemmy users in Mastodon / Friendica I think you can follow them from an account on any of those. Lets see as I follow my Lemmy account on friendica.

Feels like something that would integrate well with Nextcloud. I know there are some Nextcloud based Tracker apps. Have a look at Nextcloud Maps Geobookmarks from Fdroid.

Annoyingly while #BBC has a #mastodon presence https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2023-07-mastodon-distributed-decentralised-fediverse-activitypub it doesnt (yet) cover #bbcnews which i would have thought would have been a good starting point. There are already so many bots providing summaries and links to.#bbcnews.

I recently tried #rssparrot to add other #rss feeds from other news sites with some success.

Well done.

I think there were some previous comments about them not being recognised in rich text content of Lemmy.

Yeah agree this is the easiest… I would like to help carry the load somehow. Perhaps filtering /dealing with comments could be a start.

I’d love to help out on Open Source projects but have often just not really known where to start. I guess the challenge is to become a experienced enough user of a specific project first.

;-)

Gottya. Yes I was thinking Mastodon. i guess Lemmy is by its nature public. I guess you would need to be able to address your posts to either public, users who are community members or become one, only current community members or potentially either of those two but excluding blocked users.

I feel like their are some common group communication design patterns that could be adopted that might make working through these options simpler - e.g public vs private groups, broadcast vs multicast communication, forward vs backward accessibility. But perhaps I just cant sleep and ita 330am…

I might be missing something here but cant you make you posts followers only? - Am I about to have a learning moment?

Try Everydoor as well. Another StreetComplete like App that’s great for adding simple items
