In Germany there’s an app called “Jodel”, which is essentially like a localized reddit/lemmy. That means, you only see posts from people near you (the default is something like 10km, I think).
This is of course awesome for localized events, Craigslist style posts, or just discussions about local stuff.
I wondered, despite creating local communities on Lemmy or tags for your city, is there anything like it on the fediverse?
theres this one that attemps by ip i think https://fediverse.observer/
e. seems pretty microblog heavy… no lemmy is suggested for example
This seems to be more about finding instances, less about actually posting localized.
BTW: why is feddit.uk hosted in Germany according to this site? I thought they brexited?
ahh yes, im sorry i misunderstood.
its because there is a very cheap hosting provider in germany that most of the fediverse uses, hetzner
A domain can be hosted anywhere…
