In Germany there’s an app called “Jodel”, which is essentially like a localized reddit/lemmy. That means, you only see posts from people near you (the default is something like 10km, I think).
This is of course awesome for localized events, Craigslist style posts, or just discussions about local stuff.
I wondered, despite creating local communities on Lemmy or tags for your city, is there anything like it on the fediverse?
I know about muenster.im which is a Mastodon instance specific to the city of Münster. There is also mastodon.hamburg for example.
Those are not local-by-default social media services, though. But I guess it’s easier to find an instance with a local focus instead of “Jodel but federated”.
