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

The developers are always open for discussion on their IRC channel: https://web.libera.chat/?nick=GithubGuest%3F#flohmarkt

Please feel free to host a local instance for your city/town and invite friends and family to post. Flohmarkt relies on local relationships and pick-up items only rather than shipping stuff worldwide.

Thanks. I didn't get that. I guess that's always an issue with foreign words. Or invented company and product names like in the times when it was popular to name a startup something like flupidoo and mavendo... and they were all called like that.

On the other hand it should also help with the googling. I mean if you call it 'market' or 'flea market', American users will get like 50 pages of unrelated matches first. Like if you google Lemmy. And this is a bit more distinct.

It's true, names that are common/dictionary words are terrible.
