It basically takes your IP address, looks up an estimated town based on some free geoip database you can download, and renders that as text inside an image.
OK, less magic than expected.

Didn’t new reddit start having that? Never saw it except when not logged in mind you.

It did, but it was a “premium feature” - paying users would have to “boost” a community to alow them to enable this feature.
Only when enough users boosted, the feature became available. And once that threshold was no longer reached, the feature would go away.

Also it never worked in my third party app and became some stupid placeholder scrapyard, as you couldn’t see the image.

All the apps and frontends need to implement countermeasures, so that you can turn off image previews as needed
