Flohmarkt - a Fediverse replacement for Facebook Marketplace
-
In my local area government interrogates selling boards about my data what I sell and such. I wonder if this could be forever resistant to authorities provided somebody actually uses it?
-
I have myself apparently mistaken, I please about apology. In future will I try, no generalized sentence about Germans to do.
Germans don't have sentences, they have long words.
-
It honestly just looks like a spelling mistake to me
-
I can't understand why every other fediverse name is so stupid as to be off putting to the average user.
-
The sentence structure is kinda wonky coming from English, but the vocab isn't bad. There are tons of cognates.
-
Swede here, see no issue with the name. I'll just ignore the h when pronouncing though.
That's what you should do anyway, the h simply elongates the o
-
"gStore" sounds... suspicious. XD
-
Yeah, possibly. Depends -- if the data is federated between instances (which I assumed) you could have access to the whole world's market and it would still be useful if there was a feature that allowed you filter out locations you're not currently interested in.
Yeah, would also be nice to be able to combine multiple local markets.

This looks cool! Any android apps?

Right, über is a word. "uber" is very much not. The points aren't decoration or a pronunciation guide, they signify a different letter.
It's like saying that Spanish people call their country Espana.

I would host an instance if it's working well enough - has anyone done it yet?

Are you really going to argue this? Those accent marks aren't in all languages, which is mainly why they removed them. If you want to claim this isn't the German word then you need to explain where it came from.

'uber' is an English word with a German ethnology. 'über' is a German word. That's like saying iceberg is German. u and ü are different letters. They are pronounced differently and change the meaning of words (e.g. 'Schuppe' means scale, 'Schüppe' means shovel)

...I don't know what point you're making. The word came from german, and the changing of the letter only goes to my point. The word was easily simplified to be used outside of German.

You're in a thread complaining about a software using a German name for it's German meaning (Flohmarkt means flea market). Your example for a 'good German name' is an English word that has German origins. Don't you see how those are different?
-
"Facebook" is an equally alienating name if you don't know English. But I agree, German is difficult!

Removing the accent marks makes it such that the word isn't German anymore, just German-inspired. It would have to be written "Ueber" instead.
You know, like a Mr. Böing founding the company Boeing.

Lemmy is a stupid god awful name.
The first result you get on google is a dead singer. Every other search you will have him on the front page instead of what you're trying to find. Contrast this to searching for something from reddit.
