FediHood is free software for talking with the people around you, by topic [Fediverse and now open source]

fedihood.social/about

FediHood is a social network built around the place where you live. You choose a city and the topics you care about, then read what neighbours are saying and join in.

It stays a normal fediverse app. Your posts can reach Mastodon, PixelFed, Misskey and the rest, and posts from those servers reach you too.

Source code: git.holos.social/tom79/FediHood

There’s only one instance so far: fedihood.social

If new instances are created, they should show up here: fedihood.fediverse.observer/list

Realistically, they’ll build FediHood against Mastodon and its inner workings and call it a day.

Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte all have (partly optional) dedicated profile fields for your location (street, town, postal code, region/state, nation, Facebook-style “hometown” as in place of origin). FediHood could use these. But, like so often, I’ve got my doubts that the makers of FediHood even only know that Friendica exists.

I mean, if they really knew even only Friendica and Hubzilla, they would have made FediHood a third-party add-on for Hubzilla.
