Does anybody know a social network with focus on enabling small(-ish, as in thousands not millions), local communities, around a particular shared interest?

Hmmm, interesting requirements. A shared platform with no, or minimal, global space that has custom gating that specifies around locality? Like Nextdoor with sub-channels and no public feed?

We had products like this in central/Eastern Europe but they were swallowed by fb, lack of scalable business model and the narrative that “it doesn’t make sense to make local products in the internet”.

Yeah that's why I wonder if approaches like using channels on Farcaster is more effective. You can build a front end on top of Farcaster that further isolates the channel into more of a community. Gotta find users where they already are. Adding yet another platform gets overwhelming.

I really like Farcaster and channels. But it also clear to me that it’s dominated by a very US-centric crowd, probably more on the west coast and mid west, if I had to guess.

It's the SF effect, I'm guessing. Farcaster is a local product for the community developing it. If it starts to gain traction I'd imagine that'll change, but you're right. That's a hurdle it faces.
