It would be interesting to see how steady the footage is - keep us posted

Thats great news. I got email notifications about these replies, which is good. Your help to other members will be really good, then it’s not all me and they can see that other members have succeeded.

So, also… I only just saw these comments ! I don’t get any notifications of new posts or comments. I did think about doing another post on FB about signing up here. Some told me they were trying, but they are not here and must have dropped it or life got in the way etc. I am very motivated to keep this going as an alternative to FB… we just need more action here. How about I do a post with some step by step screen captures… and you two back it up with comments, advice, suggestions and positivity…

Hi there, I agree, its quiet here and I’m not sure how to motivate folks. I don’t post any more on FB than on here.

I have added you to the map, forum & FB one

Great, did you use Voyager or Summit in the end ?

Yes ! this is the original forum and still has some of the original members 😊 It was called Bike Club France… I was on there as quiz master and to enjoy the banter, esp in winter. That is his I got to know a bundle of the guys in the club. It closed down due to lack of funding and reluctantly we made a Facebook group, really just to keep in touch and try to hold it together. It was never really the right platform for the group though.

Oh yes, I remember the routes. Not sure I can plot them on thus map. Maybe a post about the trip and the routes would be useful to others. I will add you at the weekend.

Here’s how your friend needs to log in with Voyager:

Instance: Yes, they need to specify europe.pub as their instance. In Voyager, when you add an account, there’s a field for the instance URL — they’d enter europe.pub (or https://europe.pub/). That’s how the app knows which server to talk to.

Login credentials: They use their username and password, not their email. The username is the one they chose when they registered on europe.pub (the part before the @ in username@europe.pub). So if their full Lemmy name is johndoe@europe.pub, they’d type johndoe as the username and their password.

So the two things your friend likely got stuck on:

1. Forgetting to set the instance to europe.pub
2. Trying to log in with their email instead of their Lemmy username

That should get them in.

😂 yeah TomTom or Garmin I have sent you a message to try and explain the navigation a little… but I find that clicking about on stuff seems to help 🤣

Good evening to you in the Drômey rain… Be sure to let us know of the plans or maybe post about previous trips… it’s not very busy round the forum yet, so fill ya boots

🤣😂🤣 ohhhh, I just realised that Jonzac is a place and not your name 🤣🤪 dhooh. Sorry Greg

Good morning, & welcome. Where abouts in France do you live ? We are not many subscribers yet… So meet ups may be thin on the ground, but feel free to post, comment on other posts and make yourself at home. Also, if you have come over from the fb group, you can post over there that you have got here and motivate others. Thanks

Hi. Well done for the enduro training. We are British, we live in France and ride a Yam FJR1300. I have just joined here and made a community called BikersClubFrance. We are find8ng our feet and interested in meeting new like minded people. We ride mainly in France.

Love that photo ! And a blue elephant pillion 😂

Hi there. Where do you ride ? I mean, what countries ?

Yo, welcome Mr Rushjob 🙏 Glad to see you made it. If you can help anyone else who is having issues or give any tips over on the FB group, that would be very helpful. Also if you post on there that you did it and motivate others… thanks 😊

Hello 👋 Welcome to our new community. Did you find us on here or are you from the FB group ? We have some work here trying to build up numbers and posts etc… feel free to comment and post about any experiences etc. It will take a while to move existing members across.

How long have you lived in France ?
