If you are using today's version of nostr:nprofile1qqs24yz8xftq8kkdf7q5yzf4v7tn2ek78v0zp2y427mj3sa7f34ggjcpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj703s8dt 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.
Im finna stalk ERRBODY
Chill bro stop doxxing your self hahahah
Is there a new fdroid repo? I'm still on 0.91.0 with no update to install
Fdroid is blocking it. Something to do with the Tor library we added. You should move to nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgzqtdq0 or Obtainium.
Zapstore got a lot of upgrades since i last tried it too!
This worked great
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.
I'm gonna be pretty surprised if there is anyone near me tbh
Yeah my wife and I updated, enabled location, made a location specific post right next to each other, posted to the same realys, still couldnt see it...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Very cool feature, great to start local economies
With all this cool stuff you are doing, we need amethyst web for desktop. Any plans? You are one of the few nostr app devs that really understands how to make something good and actually bears fruit.
I endup with waydroid. Not ideal, but better then nothing.
Get a Chromebook. Pretty sure you can run Android apps on it. I'm ditching Windows soon I think.
Why not linux? I use Gentoo
Waydroid
If you are considering adding more location services in addition to the feed in the future, maybe add a toggle under privacy to enable and disable location services (enabling would remove the Around You feed and any other items as options).
I know Android prompts you to enable locations, but this would be an extra line of defense for those worried about accidentally leaving location on or something like that. Just my 2 unsolicited cents to keep privacy.

Exception was: android_getaddrinfo failed: EAI_NODATA (No address associated with hostname)
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.
:shrug:
Humm.. I wonder how graphene deals with this .. maybe they don't even offer coarse location 🤔
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.
any web apps support this?
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?
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.
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?
Yeah, we get the lat, long from the 100m precision and cut it forward to make it a 5km geohash with 5 chars. You can play with it here https://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/geohash.html
Ok thanks for explanation. Looked into geohash. Seems like a useful obfuscation method.
predictably nobody around me 😂😂
we are still early

In the latest version I don't see automatic translation of notes anymore. I downloaded the Google play version from GitHub.
cool idea!
Doesn't seem to load is this because I'm on tor? Is there a way to manually enter location? That would be a ideal for me. https://nostrcheck.me/media/9e69e420e60df69cd945510882cfe44d91757a2c58d1c21c027a7977d12360c2/28f48169562caaea32e387a0cbf20df641a0123bd9fd2a28d68b2ec70d083d6b.webp
Hum .. it should still load. Are you on graphene by any chance?
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.
Interesting 🤔
Not pulling a location for me. Pixel 8 pro, stock, I have it location permissions.
Did it ask you for permissions to see location at all? Are you on Android 15?
Yes, and I allowed it. I'm on Android 15 yes.
Humm... Very interesting. Can you flip to All Follows and back?
When I do that it shows the spinning circle. Android settings shows that Amethyst accessed my location.
Hah.. that nails it down. I will do some tests tomorrow.
Mine also isn't working. If I select "Around Me", I just get neverending spinning wheel and no location data. Same goes for if I try to include location in a note. Just the spinning wheel. I double-checked that I granted Amethyst location permissions.
Are you on Android 15 as well?
No, I'm on Android 12
I wonder if sometimes Android is not able to give a location back. We are not asking for fine location, so the GPS is not used. Maybe that is the issue.
I'll also add that it doesn't appear that Amethyst is making any attempt to acquire location because I never see the Android notification icon indicating that location is being accessed.
This is awesome!
iOS anytime soon?
Can't wait to get this update! Gonna be 🔥
Waiting for fdroid!
FDroid is blocking the update since we added Tor. Just loose Obtainium or nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgzqtdq0
