a map of locality-specific instances

what exactly does “locality-specific” mean here?
https://fediverse.observer/map seems to show more instances, but I guess those additional ones are not locality-specific?

As I am running an instance for location X, but located in Y, I can at least tell you about fediobserver that this is simply about the location of the IP of the instance.

The map shows for example a Mastodon instance for Madagascar in Africa. Thanks for your web link, it also includes Pixelfed and PeerTube instances.
