Everything #OpenStreetMap related is welcome: software releases, showing of your work, questions about how to tag something, as long as it has to do with OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap-related software.

OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license.

There are many communication channels about OSM, many organized around a certain country or region. Discover them on https://openstreetmap.community/

https://mapcomplete.org/ is an easy-to-use website to view, edit and add points (such as shops, restaurants and others)

https://learnosm.org/en/ has a lot of information for beginners too.

Pro Tip: osm.org redirects to openstreetmap.org (osm.org)

This can save you some time when opening the OSM Website.

Also links to coordinates or objects can be shortened like https://osm.org/relation/62422

Unfortunately Mozilla-based browsers do not save the osm.org in history.

You can also use bangs in the search bar.

The syntax is like !osm Berlin or !osm Ney York and it'll directly search in osm

works not with all search engines. I assume you have installed duck.com?

Works with at least with search.brave.com duckduckgo.com and qwant.com

@redd Under Firefox flavored browser one could easily set Nominatim search under some keyword

Fennec (firefox fork) saves it in its history.

Your link is not saved. Weird. Probably because of the redirect. Must be a bug in ff because org.com is saved but your link isn't 😅

Edit: if I use http, i.e. no SSL, the link is saved in ff. Definitely a bug.
