I believe you can also look at the instance modlog and filter by community. Maybe try that?
Was it [email protected] ?
Hope it clears up nicely, and congrats :)
For what it's worth, multigenerational homes are common in many cultures :)
does it know how to discern genuine user input from astroturfed marketing copy in disguise?
even with upvote counts, it might be upvoted for being a funny joke response
there's also no way to click on a user's profile to check if the activity is genuine, or if the user is experienced in the topic they are commenting about
~~Would you be able to take a screenshot of the map and edit that in as the link URL? Nice thumbnails help a post be seen, and it might let people see the map when the site is getting a hug of death 😄~~
~~Then just have the website link at the top of the post~~
edit: It loaded for me, and I see why a screenshot wouldn't make sense. There's so much cool detail, thanks for sharing!
Unfortunately that seems to be the case for a handful of Foss apps. Fdroid might not be a priority for them yet
I found this
they seem to be leaning into the AI stuff, anyone try it out recently?
How are you finding Anytype?
I tried moving to it recently but eventually gave up because of how complicated it got. Vikunja was on my list of things to try. I still haven't found something I like.
Appflowy was next on my list to try. It seems to have matured a lot since I last checked
Thank you! That was helpful to know
Very detailed, thank you for writing it up :)
Closest I can think of might be the [email protected] [email protected] communities

Educational apps for children: What parents and educators should look for and ignore

The article doesn't make any recommendations, but rather what to look for /avoid.

Relevant sections:
What to ignore
- User ratings & reviews:
Popular EduApps in Apple’s and Google’s app stores typically have very positive ratings (above four stars). Yet, experts still raise concerns about their quality and expert-approved apps do not necessarily receive the highest star ratings. Written reviews are rarely more informative. Research shows most reviews simply praise apps rather than explaining specific features. [...]
- Apple or Google rankings
Educators and parents may visit an app store’s “top charts” lists to find EduApps. Yet, how Apple’s and Google’s algorithms determine which apps “top the charts” is unclear. [...]
- Recommendations from app review websites
Educators and parents might look to external app review websites like Common Sense Media for recommendations. But research shows many of the apps recommended by these websites still need substantial improvement [...]
What to look for
- Curriculum: What apps teach
At the bare minimum, EduApps must include content that is covered in an established learning program. Yet, many EduApps are what researchers call “educational misfits” because they are only weakly related to education, if at all. Look for apps that clearly state which curriculum their content is based on (for example, a particular provincial curriculum, a supplemental curriculum for learning an Indigenous language) or detail the content (suitable for grades 1–3 math). Don’t bother with an app that doesn’t tell you what it covers.
- Learning theory: How apps teach
[...] Look for apps that describe how they teach. Choose ones using approaches that align with your needs.
- Scaffolding: How apps support learning
EduApps should include supports that help children build their understanding and accomplish learning goals. These supports (called scaffolding) can include hints or instructions when children get stuck and breaking down complex tasks into smaller chunks or adapting difficulty to match children’s abilities. [...]
- Feedback: How apps correct learning
If we want children to learn from their mistakes, feedback is essential. Look for apps that give children informative feedback so they know where they went wrong and why.
- Educational expertise: Who made the app
Many app developers are not education experts, and their priorities may not align with those of educators and parents. [...]

Also a few of the flats have donation boxes, and hopefully over time that'll be enough to keep the party going :)
