If you are using today's version of @Amethyst go to the Around Me feed and say hello to your neighbors (+/- 5km, 3 mi). We are going to be using local feeds to onboard new users in the future.

Yes.
I would love an option to manually set.

If I take a short vacation I'm likely to still make posts relevant to my home area. Also would rather select the nearest large city to my town. This would increase my chances at finding locally relevant content. And it would allow people with stalking concerns to still participate.

Would you please aska few questions?
Does amethyst save location data now?
Does it work by phone location? Should phone location be on?
What happens with VPN on?

See translation

Vitor Pamplona

@Vitor Pamplona

Nov 27, 2024

The app itself doesn't save location data anywhere. It just posts to event when you mark that option.

The use of a VPN/Tor doesn't change it. The location comes from on Android's coarse location services which use cell tower triangulation to know roughly where you are.

But there are GPS apps that can intercept and force another location.

So you save our lat/long to relays, permanently, publicly, so anyone can pull it from event data?

Not late long, but a geohash that has a +/-5km uncertainty.

@CappyNate🍁

Nov 28, 2024

But you're pulling coarse location? Not GPS? It's showing 100m accuracy here.

Has something changed with this location method, or are you running some sort of scrambler for posting?

GrapheneOS (up to date)
with or without GooglePlay services enabled, I see a spinning circle waiting for the location. I see the notification that the location is being accessed but I never see results and it doesn't say where I am.
on the other hand OSS Weather knows my address with GPS.

does Amethyst display the location after the search finishes or before in terms of flow in the app? could it be just not showing the location because it has no results? idk your code.

I tried it with and without fine location on.

I don't get it. Will only notes marked with the geotag show up in the around me feed? I've never marked any of my notes with the geo-location tag. Does that mean no one will see any of my notes on their around me feed?

I checked mine local city and it was empty. I changed my location to your city in the USA using a fake gps app and I looked at the feed and see some of your posts but not all of them. I see a couple other posts from other users but not much.

Yep, posts will only show if they mark the location you are in. Those location-exclusive posts will not show in any other feed.

This is the new NIP-22. So, there is literally no posts anywhere yet.
