Working on a FediHood-inspired "Nearby" feature for Catodon. Since FediHood's development has halted, I'm using it as a base, but without being restricted by it. I'm trying to build this not only thinking of Catodon's implementation, but with fedi on my mind, since we don't have a standard for location, and it could be useful for a lot of cases (events, marketplaces - even a federated dating app could use something like this, why not). So once I'm done, I'll propose two FEPs, so that other projects can also build on this.

@panos@catodon.rocks It would be nice to have a decent meeting about Places in ActivityPub. Have you seen Atlas by @benpate@mastodon.social ? It would be nice to have a common ground. We are currently in a mess because of the "deno situation" but I did write down how we use Place in our code (small team, financed by private people): https://codeberg.org/Menschys/fedi-codebase/src/branch/main/README.md Especially for a feature like "Nearby" the use of geohash for automatically geographical indexed AP Collections might be interesting. imho lat/lon-only is not the best for the fediverse.
