fedihood
#FediHood keeps growing, and many bugs have been fixed thanks to your feedback.
Federation now works smoothly over #ActivityPub. The Nearby and Discover timelines work as intended, and push notifications are available. #E2EE still needs work to support several browsers or devices.
It is a good start. You can join this new fediverse software at https://fedihood.social

I really think we can bring proximity back to social networks, and #ActivityPub is the best place for it.
#FediHood connects you with people in your own city. Posts carry a local topic: help, events, buy and sell, meet people, news.
Moderators earn their role through good actions in their own area, and lose it through bad ones. The power stays with the users, not with big tech that puts money before moderation.
I often see that question about the way I use #E2EE over #ActivityPub.
#FediHood and #HolosSocial do not use the end-to-end encryption #Mastodon is working on. They are going for MLS over ActivityPub. I use the Signal Protocol, already working between Holos and FediHood, which I both maintain. Once MLS is available, I'll happily switch.
But to be clear: it works perfectly with the Signal Protocol. The switch would only be for compatibility.

Tom, the creator of @apps and @HolosSocial has started a new project:
It's called Fedihood
https://FediHood.social
It connects people by location, and topic, so you can find people near you by topic.
You can find me there too: @joergi
Feedback about #FediHood is greatly appreciated. This is a small, unpretentious #Fediverse project. But it seems that the idea of linking #OpenStreetMap to discover content near you was something missing here. It was designed to never use a GPS. It warns you when your city is too small and suggests the biggest one around. Topics and language allow you to get tailored content. I will introduce the #ActivityPub Event used by #Mobilizon for the event topic.
Thank you for using and sharing.
You can now tap markers on the map. In the People tab, you will see accounts related to that area. In the Posts tab, you will see all messages from that area. #FediHood
We are now more than 300 users on #FediHood. The project is stable enough for me to invite you to try it.
It is a software running on #ActivityPub and using #OSM.
The idea? Discover people near you or all around the world, and filter by topic.
It doesn't use GPS, you pick the town. The app warns you if your city is too small and suggests a bigger one nearby. Bonus: it supports #E2EE DMs.
Don't hesitate to share. Thank you!
Concerning #FediHood, the verification email contains only a few words with a link carrying the token.
Unfortunately, this makes the email get rejected as spam by some providers. I neglected that part, having tested with only three providers. Sorry about that.
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.
The domain fedihood.social is flagged as dangerous by Bitdefender, which may be the reason why confirmation emails are being rejected as spam by some providers.
I registered the domain on August 7th, and this false positive is causing a lot of problems. #FediHood
#FediHood supports custom emojis, but I think people should be able to import their own (limited to around 10) and only usable by them.
I will add another tab in the emoji picker to quickly find them.
I published a small about page for #FediHood
For devs who build apps on the #Mastodon API, I have started to document the dedicated endpoints for #FediHood. The common Mastodon endpoints are already supported.
https://fedihood.social/api-docs
Of course, these will be added to #Fedilab
#FediHood now lets you upload custom emojis (limited to 10 per user for now, but admins can change the default value).
They can only be used by the person who uploaded them, and there is no conflict with existing shortcodes.
The source code of #FediHood is now available under the AGPLv3.
A #Fediverse app using #OpenStreetMap to display timelines close to you, filtered by topics.

#FediHood now supports #ActivityPub events, which means it is compatible with software such as #Mobilizon. You can create and receive events in the area you selected.
Joining and leaving events is not implemented yet.
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.
