FediHood is a social network built around the place where you live. You choose a city and the topics you care about, then read what neighbours are saying and join in.

It stays a normal fediverse app. Your posts can reach Mastodon, PixelFed, Misskey and the rest, and posts from those servers reach you too.

Thats the secret sauce of the Fediverse.

It doesnt have to compete/steal attention across apps. It can cooperate and combine it.

Realistically, they'll build FediHood against Mastodon and its inner workings and call it a day.

Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte all have (partly optional) dedicated profile fields for your location (street, town, postal code, region/state, nation, Facebook-style "hometown" as in place of origin). FediHood could use these. But, like so often, I've got my doubts that the makers of FediHood even only know that Friendica exists.

I mean, if they really knew even only Friendica and Hubzilla, they would have made FediHood a third-party add-on for Hubzilla.
