A few days ago I asked if you would use an anonymous way to talk with people near you, built on the #Fediverse and #OSM (#OpenStreetMap). The poll is still open, but I already started, because I truly believe in this need. It is called #FediHood. Your account is anonymous, private messages are end to end encrypted, and it reuses the tools I already run in #PawFed and #HolosSocial.

The Bitdefender false positive on fedihood.social is now solved. The domain is still young, so remember to check your spam folder for the confirmation email. This should improve over time.
Also, in the settings, you can check your email address for typos.

I swore not to speak about #FediHood any more, but what #Pixelfed is doing is great news for #ActivityPub.
Pixelfed already sends the location as a Place object with latitude and longitude, so FediHood can read it and put markers on a map.
Local timelines used to mean one instance. Now they can mean people actually around you.
More about how moderation will work on #FediHood.
FediHood is a way to talk with people near you without telling anyone who you are or where exactly you live. It uses the #Fediverse with the #Mastodon API for common endpoints, so it already works with most apps such as #Fedilab. Moderation is at the heart of this new app on the Fedi. The success of the project depends on it.

I would like to share my experience of building #FediHood.
While I still think that building timelines around you is an interesting enhancement for the #Fediverse, I think I was wrong about the way I did it.
Many people are interested, but not enough to create another account just for that feature. They want it with their current account.
I am happy to see #Pixelfed implementing it, and that is the way it should be done.
Now you can add events to your calendar in #FediHood. The map has also been redesigned to display them all, and end dates have been added.
You can also subscribe to #Lemmy communities. You will get their posts in a dedicated timeline, with the ability to reply, vote and create threads.
You can already submit communities that target an area, they will be available to people near them.
#FediHood should be easy to use, with a very simple interface. It fully uses #ActivityPub and is compatible with the #Mastodon API (tested with #Fedilab). It will of course bring extra endpoints related to how it works. The project reuses the combined work from #HolosSocial and #PawFed.
Here are some screenshots of the Web UI.
More and more of you are joining #FediHood, currently the only #Fediverse software that lets you build a local timeline with people posting around you.
You choose how far around you the timeline reaches, and which topics you want to see.
#FediHood and #HolosSocial, two separate #Fediverse projects (that I maintain), can now send each other #E2EE DMs, fully over #ActivityPub.
oh cool, #fedihood has an openapi file

tapping on #fedihood maps displays either the city account listing if it’s the account map or post feed if it’s the post map

I am really impressed by how many accounts were created in Germany on #FediHood.
RE: https://toot.fedilab.app/@apps/117078460930346514
I built #FediHood on the #Mastodon API, so you can connect your account with any Mastodon-compatible app, such as #Fedilab.
Fedilab will soon support the extra features at the heart of the project: finding people nearby by city via #OSM, and using #E2EE DMs.
#FediHood now has a better composer. You can post three types: messages with topics, events and communities.
There is also a bot that can put anyone from the #Fediverse on the map (a remote filter is available). More about how to appear: https://fedihood.social/locator
#FediHood warns you if you pick a small town and suggests the nearest larger one. It is a privacy measure, since few people share a small place, but you can ignore the suggestion and keep your choice.
