For example, some software already manages geolocation (Mobilizon, Friendica, Flohmarkt, etc.), but these software don't recognize each other's geolocation parameters. The problem, as you've already highlighted, is entirely tied to searching across different federated instances, because search only works on content that's already been captured by yours.Find a way to "localize" content. From this perspective, Activitypub groups can be used to manage "local groups" for cities, countries, regions, etc. In Italy, for example, I've created a federated forum (a #NodeBB instance) representing twenty regional categories and about a hundred city subcategories. Those connecting from the forum see the categories hierarchically, but those connecting from the Fediverse can see individual cities as a simple federated account: cities like @roma or @venezia, but also regions like @toscana, or cities like @ivrea. Those who live in the Fediverse can mention these groups, and the group account automatically shares posts mentioning them; those who follow these groups will see posts mentioning them reshared.]]></description><link>https://citiverse.it/topic/d53deba4-4d4f-41e2-87ed-2423c43f6832/scattered-thoughts-on-social-geolocation</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://citiverse.it/topic/d53deba4-4d4f-41e2-87ed-2423c43f6832/scattered-thoughts-on-social-geolocation</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[macfranc@poliversity.it]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 22 Jul 2026 11:34:12 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
