..it IS the same shops. We use data from OSM.
The difference is that OSM.org is a map made for contributors, to add data. Lokjo, on the other hand, is for people who would like to use that data in a daily routine, like googlemaps, but EU and non-profit.
Osm doesn't have a function to search all shops in a certain area, with popups showing info, it doesn't have a corporate/chains filter, it doesn't have a user interface made for daily use.
That's why Lokjo was made.

@lokjo@mapstodon.space the idea is great. Unfortunately, the OSM data seems to be used without any consideration for language or translation. So I look in my next bigger city for "Werkzeug" and "Eisenwaren". I get a few suggestions all over Germany. This one https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2881446090 is not found. what can be done to improve this?
