Hi Brett,
In March the team released changes to our suggestions UI to exclude suggestions of taxa that do not occur nearby by default. (See https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/better-use-of-location-in-computer-vision-suggestions/915/47?u=loarie for more info). Users now have to choose “show suggestions that do not occur nearby” in order to even see non-nearby suggestions.
Have you not seen a change in this regard?
Thanks,
alex
