I have posted this already in the touring and bikepacking c’s, but maybe people here like this too.

This is supposed to be something like couchsurfing for multi day bicycle travellers. There is a service like that already, warmshowers. This should now hopefully become the open source, actually non profit variant, they also want to include activitypub compatibility. I don’t really understand how it all works or is planned to work yet, but at least I managed to sign up there

The project started after warmshowers killed off the community developed app for it, by people from the orbit around that community app. Kind of like how I ended up here on Lemmy when reddit killed of 3rd party apps.

For now it has very few members only and functionality is bare bones, no notifications yet and apparently no e-mail forwarding of requests etc, but messaging on the site itself should work.

I used to host people on warmshowers until I deleted my account there, were always interesting people. I would love to see this one become a success and look forward to host somebody soon.
