Agreed. If it’s labelled “Nearby” then I expect it to sort by distance and exclude anything more than ~500 miles away. Paris is not “nearby” to the US, and neither is Australia.
Alternately, relabel it “Upcoming Meetups” because that is more informative. I’d prefer to just see it re-labelled, because there will probably never be more than a couple “local” meetups near me. New York and California seem to be the only states with more than one regular meetup right now, and I doubt many of us are interested in driving 100+ miles for a meetup on any sort of regular basis.
That it’s not filtering by distance looks like a bug. I think it’ll be sensible for most users if it shows the nearest five of meetups occurring in the next 14 days. I think filtering by location is a very useful feature in the sidebar widget.
