@dansup @pixelfed Oh my goodness this is such good...

@dansup @pixelfed Oh my goodness this is such good news. Thank you so much!

Does this mean you’ll also use a different method/dataset for determining what place names are shown at the top of each post? And/or maybe the place name will be editable for each post, separate from the geo coordinates?

@nicksherman @pixelfed Yes! Also it will be editable from the web/official app and we’ll have an API for this so you can programmatically access your geojson data and public ones too!

One of my goals is to make it easy to mass assign locations to posts so you can easily organize them, with an added privacy visibility option to limit who you share it with, allowing you to keep the location data private and only visible to you on specific posts!

Lots of geolocation improvements soon

@dansup @pixelfed I am so happy to hear all of this and will anxiously await the new updates! I’m already in the TestFlight program for the iOS app but if you want anyone to do even earlier testing for the app (or web interface) please let me know.

@nicksherman @pixelfed Sounds good, will reach out when its shipped!

I appreciate your feedback, and tbh its crucial to feature development.

Pixelfed is people powered, and it's quite unique to have a platform like ours that prioritizes user feedback to this degree

I can't wait for your feedback once we ship this, there are so many possibilities with a feature like this, for example, being able to see Nearby Posts could bring a whole new dimension, locality!!

Let's keep in touch 😁

@dansup @pixelfed I remember many years ago when Instagram still had a photo map feature, it was a great way to find cool stuff nearby (people told me they looked at my photo map all the time to find good pizza).

I appreciate your openness to feedback, thanks for doing so much to make the Fediverse even better.
