@weekinfediverse there have been a bunch of updates to @fabio's #MadBlog this week too

@weekinfediverse also #pawfed https://codeberg.org/tom79/pawfed

The source code of #PawFed is now available on #Codeberg. PawFed is a federated map for animal welfare: reports come from the #Fediverse via #ActivityPub mentions, and permanent places like shelters and vets are pulled from OpenStreetMap.

A location is not always required: if you have supplies or food to give away and can ship, just say so.

Found an abandoned animal? Just report it.

How to build a message: https://pawfed.org/tags

#PawFed is not limited to reports about animals found or in distress. You can use it to offer help or ask for it.

Use #offer when you provide help, #request when you need it, #info to share useful information.

Everything works through #ActivityPub. If you delete your original post mentioning @PawFed, the related report is automatically removed from the map. No database ghost. You stay in control of your data. (1/3)

@apps look @julian isn't this sorta what you were just talking about with hashtag combining schemes
