Flohmarkt - a Fediverse replacement for Facebook Marketplace (codeberg.org)

As this project appears to be fairly unknown in the fediverse still, I'd like to use this opportunity to advertise Flohmarkt. This Fediverse equivalent of Facebook Marketplace already has some instances up and running - see here: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki/flohmarkt-instances

Great idea. I just wonder how Flohmarkt is read by non-Germans.

Those non-Germans using Huawei/Xiaomi phones or buying from Shein? I reckon they'd not bat an eyelid, especially for English-speakers when you explain it means "flea market". With Shein if anyone even bothers asking about the name, all they want to know is how to pronounce it ("she in", not "shine" or "sheen") and what it means ("it's complicated", "OK, never mind then").
