Yes this is what I was looking for, thanks!

Now is there any way to add this data to comaps? Specifically address data?

Do they publish a list anywhere? I’d love to see what they’re using and see if I can get it into CoMaps somehow

Well the only solution I can see is for us to start manually adding everything we can find to OSM unless there’s some way to import better data into OSM or CoMaps.

No, looks like they’re not, except one I added in CoMaps, so that explains it.

How does Magic Earth have all those addresses then? There was even a restaurant I was looking for the other day that I found on Magic Earth but not CoMaps. Is Magic Earth’s map data open-source or can that somehow be loaded into CoMaps?

For context I switched to Magic Earth a while back as it was the best Google Maps alternative to me, however with the recent switch to a Freemium model that also introduced a ton of bugs, I’m looking for other alternatives. One thing I noticed immediately about comaps is its misssing a LOT of addresses and places here in the US that were available on Magic Earth. Can I somehow manually import better address/maps data? It’s to the point it’s really not usable for me but I’m struggling to find anything else that works nearly as good as Magic Earth.

Right that’s what I meant about a “centralized” instance. I just think it would make things a lot easier if there was one “main” server that new users could easily be directed to, create and account, and view and discover content from lots of other instances.

The existence of instances like MakerTube I think provides a good platform for dedicated creators to go to at the moment, but it would be cool if again, there was a main instance that somehow allowed uploading to other instances.

Unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about development lol. I might look into creating a piefed account though just for these feeds which look really cool
