This app (like any consumer social app) needs to first solve the cold start problem: make it useful for a single user, layer the social on top.
Instagram had photo filters; Strava had activity stats. What could this have?

I'm not sure if the concept is really for a single user. It's more like you get to connect with people within geographically-defined perimeters.
One obvious feature would be to provide geo fenced Wikipedia or news feed.
Like what is the highest rated/longest Wikipedia article in the area.
Or maybe what's the 3 top radio stations and a link to them.
There is plenty of local content that Google does not surface
Geo fenced Wikipedia exists already, as a number of apps are available which offer regional maps with localized Wikipedia additions, see for example https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OsmAnd
I could do that. Have additional information about the area based on the perimeter.
These are great ideas!
I am saying for it to succeed as multi-user, it needs to be useful first for a single user.
Twitter was never useful for single users.
