I'm generally willing to pay for a service (I donate to Open Source Projects I regularly use) because of course there are server costs, development costs, etc. But in this case and after all that Reddit has done to its user base it would be a very bad signal to give them money for it... I like Infinity for reddit and would love to have an Infinity for Lemmy

Well written! I've had a similar experience with a habit tracking app. I've once stopped using it and after getting back to it after a year or so, it was so much worse with so many new pay walled limitations. An open source habit tracker on the other hand stayed the same for years and was even improved further. If you're inrerested: Loop Habit Tracker https://f-droid.org/packages/org.isoron.uhabits/

Creating memes...

Use hashtags that fit to your posting and that are used/followed often. I for example follow some hashtags that fit my interest and see postings of people I don't know. When I created my first posting I used only three of these hashtags and quickly had some favourites and shares. Also try to be active in the comments, they are the places where people can find you easily.

Oh no, I did a rook(ie) mistake :(

Thank you, I'll try them out when I find the time :)

I agree, the first two problems are rather easy to solve with phonetrack or any other of the tracking apps like µlogger, Owntracks, Traccar, etc. and nextcloud or the backend you provided. What is the reason that the simple heatmap is not ideal? Does it also lag or are you looking for filters functionality, etc.? The data pre processing must be challenging cause thats the part really seperating the self hosted solutions to Google's one. If one could pre process the data on a nextcloud server and could render it on a map without significant lags, that would be really cool. Maybe I'll try to work on that in the future when I got more advanced in programming.

That looks nice. If you want to share it, I'd totally try it out!

What did you replace it with? In my case I love my Nextcloud because I have my calendar, adress book, tasks, notes, RSS feed, etc. all in one app but I'm interested to hear alternatives to it

The tracking part is great, but I think I'll eventually run into perfomance problems when the files get too big. How long has it been running now/how big is you gpx file? And do you just use one single session or eventually start a new one?
