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.
I made the community !flohmarkt@lemmy.ca
However it only supports Europe right now.
Great idea… Not so sure about the name, though. Hard to spread by word of mouth when you have to spell it out
The first instance is called fedi.markets
Instances can be named anything. We have sh.itjust.works on Lemmy after all
Ah fair enough
Good opportunity to promote in indeed!
Nice to see the list of instances
are the anything with auction system?
No auction. You get a text field to put in a price and that’s it.
They’re all in German or something…
I looked into it on Yunohost and it said some stuff about “CouchDB” that I did not remotely understand.
You’re aware that feddit.org is a German instance, right?
https://fleamarket.neilzone.co.uk/ and https://flohmarkt.modern-industry.com/ are in English
You’re aware that feddit.org is a German instance, right?

Thanks, I thought I checked all the public ones.
