Hi, I'm fairly new to the fediverse. Is there any alternatives for Facebook marketplace out there?

Not Lemmy but try NextDoor app. I have sold a lot on there in the last few years.

Nextdoor is ok for selling. But the social part is an absolute shithole of insane people.

Yes! It is a dumpster fire of a consortium but sometimes it is ok for finding local resources, like a plumber for example, but some crazies can be ever-present.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've heard of this one before, but not that familiar with it.

Is there any benefits/drawbacks to this one vs. fb marketplace?

It's fine, but know that it is by far the most hateful place I've seen. I got it, oh it'd be fun to know my neighbors a bit I thought.

I was wrong. Every racist boomer out there is on it. Some? Examples include:

Who is this person? Anyone know him? (Insert photo of a random black man walking on the sidewalk) should I call the police?

Who is barbequing today? It's a Thursday! Don't people WORK anymore?!

Crime in our neighborhood is crazy high! I used to feel safe here but there's new elements that are ROBBING US. (In the comments then they reveal they left a laptop visible in the back seat and their car was broken into)

These are real posts from my nextdoor app. Zero exaggerating, this is what the app is like.

You have been warned.

You can sell to your very local area if you like.
