   The Pixelfed Places feature is powered by the MaxMind Geo Cities database, any posts with a location uses that geo data, we do not expose fine grained location data anywhere, because we strip that before saving media ❤️

     @dansup My photos have geo data embedded in the EXIF data and mostly I publish via API. Did I get you right saying that location has to be set manually even if the uploaded photo had location information?

     @individual8 Yes, but we will allow you to manually allow that to remain in the uploaded media!

     The new webUI and mobile app will make this easy, and you can save your preferred setting so its automatically set each time.
