Generally speaking: Our issue tracker is not a support forum, but a tool to track bugs for contributors. If you want to ask a question, please use the support forum (or other support channels) instead. This time I converted your issue to a discussion. I will treat future questions filled as issues as bug reports, which would in this case mean that I just close them without any comments (as it's clearly not a bug in an existing feature).

That all written: Diesel does not provide built-in support for postgresql extensions. It's designed to be extended by third party crates for this use-case. We demonstrate how such a crate would look like by providing diesel-full-text-search. For postgis there exist various third party crates: https://crates.io/search?q=postgis. I cannot comment on which one works best or might cover your usecase.
