Hi,

Addresses can be really complicated. The full guide is on the wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses

Personally, I would open up JOSM, select all the buildings and slap addr:street and addr:housenumber=123on them. However, I would add addr:unit=XYZ on every one of them (as @Krzyzwen@feddit.de pointed out as well).

Next question: does every single house have their own letterbox? Or is there one location where all the letterboxes are located? Add a https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dletter_box with addr:street and addr:housenumber as well!

I don't think that adding an address to the plot of land is very useful (but a name of the project/area might be nice as well). Have a look at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place for this, place=plot or place=city_block might be appropriate depending on the situation.

Many addresses are still missing in OpenStreetMap, hence that might be the issue.

Can you please check if the address you are searching for is found on the website itself? If not, you can add it yourself. If it exists, file an issue with Organic Maps.

Yeah, that's the nice thing. Federation means that communities can interact with each other, but also that they can refuse to interact if they want to. We can easily quarantine the instances (be it mastodon, lemmy, or whatever) the instances where toxic behaviour arises.
