Hello Fedifriends, I need your help!

I've created a bot - @openbenches - which posts every time a new bench is uploaded to our website.

But, to test it, I need people to upload photos!

So, if you're out for a walk this Sunday, please snap a geotagged photo of any memorial benches you find, and upload them to https://openbenches.org/

Thanks!

OpenBenches Welcome!
