There are ways to keep things local if you do your own rendering. And there might be sites that allow fictional data. But if you want an informed answer to this question then I believe you should ask on the OSM forums at https://community.openstreetmap.org as you will get a lot more eyes on the question than here in the diary area.

IIRC there’s a dev server where you can play around like that, although idk the details of it.

You can make your own edits and save them locally if you use JOSM. But if it’s fictional map making you want, you might be interested in https://opengeofiction.net/

(It’s an editable map built on the same software as OSM but completely separate, and you can add whatever fanciful things you like, within reason.)

You may want to try Sandbox Editing (osm.wiki/Sandbox_for_editing)

And of course there are: https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/pl/ https://felt.com/ Both allow to add your data to OSM background

Hi, I agree rmikke uMap is great. You can create a private map on uMap osm.wiki/UMap
Yo can use OSM layer (or other) as a background. Then import your data. I do it for map with my hikes. Or map with POI extracted from other websites (like public bookcases). Or a map with my “favorites” places and so on.
Hope it can fit your needs.
