Thank you for posting this!

Reading Josh Meissner's article about the acquisition of bike route sharing app Komoot has reinforced the importance of promoting and fostering community-owned services.

I'm not sure how to reach the owners of the https://furtherheights.com/ instance of wanderer, but visiting their website results in a 1033 error. The next instance I tried (https://trails.tchncs.de/) works as expected, though!

Omg, love this so much! Fuck all those other trails apps that take your data and then still charge a huge amount.

Yoooo how did I not know there's a federated and polished Strava alternative!?

There is also https://wandrer.earth/ (not federated) that is really cool. It gives you points for each unique mile you have been, encourages you to explore new places.
