fedihood
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.
adding an app setting #fedihood distance slider, matches the range on the web client
#Fedihood is growing and I'd like to add a few topics. Which ones would you use? Multiple answers allowed. If something is missing, tell me in the replies.
Options: (choose one or more)

Would you be interested in signing up and then logging in to #FediHood through your current #Fediverse account?
The scope would be "read:accounts" only, just to check that you own the account, and the token is destroyed right after.

oh cool, #fedihood has an openapi file
https://git.holos.social/tom79/FediHood/src/branch/main/public/openapi.json
I added a note about LLM usage in the #FediHood README, and I also made things clearer in the contributing guide. Using an LLM is OK as long as a human reviews the code and fully understands what it does. No vibe-coding.
Being transparent matters on a project, to avoid disappointing people who contributed.
There are now more than 700 users on #FediHood, and I've added new topics.
You can tailor your timeline in three ways:
- The distance from your city
- The topics you want to see
- The languages
Topics are more powerful than hashtags (in the context of the project) because:
- They avoid typos
- They work whatever the language
- One mute covers everything, unlike hashtag variants
It also fully supports the #ActivityPub Events used by #Mobilizon.
If you want to join: https://fedihood.social/
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 don't know if #FediHood will be adopted by the #Fediverse community, but I am still doing my best for it. Three new features have been added:
- Emoji reactions to messages (federated)
- Theme customization (with presets available)
- An option to automatically delete your own posts
FediHood lets you build timelines based on people near you and on topics. More: https://fedihood.social/about

I am really impressed by how many accounts were created in Germany on #FediHood.
#FediHood now supports #Lemmy through #ActivityPub. You can subscribe/unsubscribe from groups, read threaded discussions with their upvote scores, and reply or upvote yourself (through the fav button).
This is the first step: FediHood will also automatically split messages into city, region and country groups that everyone on the fediverse using groups will be able to interact with.
DNS4EU and Bitdefender removed https://fedihood.social from their blacklist.
It was listed since day one, when I got this fresh domain name.
It had a lot of bad consequences, especially with mail delivery.
It's over now, but this kind of problem always has a lot of inertia with services using third parties to check.
Thank you to the people who warned me.
Taking a step back helped me understand where my limits are.
I'm giving up #HolosSocial and #Fedihood. They were both ambitious projects, and I can't carry them alone.
#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
Concerning #FediHood, the most important part is done and it is stable enough. I am not good at promoting things, and I think I have talked about the project enough. I will let it live on its own for a few weeks now and tag the release as 1.0.0.

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.
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.
Just a small reminder, if you appreciate my work on my projects:

Thank you for considering it, if you can. Your support helps me keep going.
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.
