Points of interest and amenities are probably the next most useful. Things like street lighting and sidewalks quite helpful for pedestrians. It's more important that you are still enjoying mapping. If there is something that you know is useful but you find tedious it's ok to skip it and either leave it for someone else or come back to it later
As it sounds like you're on Android, I'd recommend @streetcomplete for easily adding detail while on the go.

Because not everyone lives somewhere where open data exists. Even that map of a single country shows that
~40%(?) of the country is missing the relevant data.
@MigratingtoLemmy @101 @openstreetmap
No, this is against Google TOS and OpenStreetMap policy on data sources and the Data Working Group will step in and block any accounts doing this to protect the project as a whole.
@BitSound @openstreetmap
There is no real reason to break things up block by block unless the blocks have unique names or something. It's also a pain to edit when the areas have been glued to the roads.
So yeah, leave them big.

Very slim. But their privacy policies are online if you're concerned.
You free labour all goes to the OpenStreetMap database licensed under the Open DataBase License.

It caused a lot of fake stuff to be added to OSM even though its update frequency was slow enough that very little of the fake stuff actually made it into Pokemon Go.
I think it did bring in a few good mappers too though so it wasn't all bad.
@stiephelando @vatlark @openstreetmap
If a question type gets tedious you can disable that "quest" in the settings.
@possiblylinux127 Well no, it's entertainment. You don't get many FOSS novels either, not that are worth reading at least.
@soloojos
This seems like it'd be the opposite of an @openstreetmap thing.
@huojtkeg I still find this worrying as an OSM contributor.

Looks like half of them have incompatible licenses and can't be imported:
