I’ll probably also make my location specific instance public once I got a nice landing page for the main domain as I want to add a few other services and not only Flohmarkt in the medium term.
Edit: AFAIK the 50km range actually only specifies what other Flohmarkt instances to federate with, i.e. if someone else sets up an instance with a location within 50km of the one you set for your instance then their posts will show up on the all feed of your instance, otherwise they will not. There is nothing really stopping people from posting things outside the 50km range right now, but that might be an interesting feature for the future as well.
Which other location specific services do you have in mind? I’ve been thinking about similar things on and off. Mobilizon is a thing, and something with groups but I’m not sure what would work for locals.
I was thinking about activity tracking stuff like Wanderer or DiveDB… as my Flohmarkt instance would be also more outdoor stuff themed. But yes event management stuff like Mobilizon or Ganzio, or (non-federated) Lauti or Karrot might be an interesting option as well.
Awesome, that is how it is done! Kudos to you 👍
