Not the prettiest page on the web, but I can now Geolocate my phone and find the 25 nearest named places on #OSM.

Next stage is making a button to send that location to my ActivityPub server to send out a message.

(This is crappy code, poorly architected. Just a Proof of Concept.)

I've just reposted a public status from my new location check-in service.

It doesn't handle replies or likes, but you can follow it.

Expect buggy and untested weirdness 🙂

@Edent
I've tried following from Mastodon and IceShrimp instances just to see if there's a difference.

@alyn oooh! I can see both requests. Do let me know what you find. Ta!

@Edent I've hit a 'waiting for approval' page again.

@denny it takes a few moments for my server to approve. It looks like it has gone through from my side - if you refresh, is your end showing approved?

It's all working!

You can follow @edent_location for my "FourSquare-style" check-ins to locations.
