Cross border bullshit, or European railways in general? I am genuinely curious about whether Spain will ever extend its rail network along the south coast. It's been talked about since forever, but there has been a new surge of publicity recently.

This week´s main OSM task: mapping a new walking trail, the PR-A 496 Coín-Guadalhorce. This opened last year and I visited it for the first time on Saturday.

It's a pleasant, easy-to-follow trail that descends from the centre of Coín and then follows the banks of 3 rivers (Pereila, Grande, Guadalhorce).

The only small downside is that it ends in a random spot after 12km, so you need to either make it a 24km return walk or carefully plan what to do at the end.

@mgifford @youronlyone The "blackhole" issue is frustrating. I have found that most followers of my Pixelfed account are on Mastodon. If I post more than 4 photos, not only will those people not see more than 4 photos, they won't have any indication that they are missing anything.

Similarly, any location or copyright information added in Pixelfed just disappears on Mastodon.

I too would prefer to focus on Flickr for photos, but I am doubtful if they will ever join the Fediverse.
