Is there a free, idiot-friendly way to export a custom area of the map as a PNG/JPEG in other styles than on the offical website? in c/[email protected]

There's a way to embed a map in the article itself. See The Maps for Wikipedia page for information on how to do that.

Otherwise I am unaware of a tool that allows for a PNG or SVG export or OSM data.

101 reports and counting this morning in c/[email protected]

They go to nearly everyone.

If I on instance a report a post on instance b made by a user on instance c, all three instances' admins will receive the report, as well as the community on instance b.

It's kind of a mess, and definitely overkill.

I got by for a long time using a YouTube playlist and Vanced. Might want to look into YouTube Revanced, it's a patch for the YT app that deletes ads and adds some extra features.

I just now realized I got Voyager and Lemmy versions confused. You are right about 0.20 being the most recent voyager version.
