Flohmarkt - a Fediverse replacement for Facebook Marketplace
-
I tried to use it myself and it really isn't ready yet. It's missing so many features that a specialized Lemmy instance seems like a much better alternative.
Maybe share your vision with the devs or actively contribute yourself to the development of this platform?

I just took a list at some instances and was confused. Is there not a location-specific aspect? When I selected "Local" I got nothing. The only use I had for FB marketplace was buying/selling things locally. Like as a craigslist replacement. Not seeing that on these sites, unfortunately.

Its even more important to use various word from various language.
English as default also resulting American culture as the most prominent culture.
Newer generation are more acceptable to outside culture, so this will be work.
Not to forget, the rest of non-English society already operate in multi language society and get exposed for various culture.Years ago, people heavily localized Angliscize a lot of Asian media, but now, people are more accepting foreign naming convention. Just take a look at various FOSS porject in Japanese, Hindi, Persia, or Finnish.

Indonesian here.
Indonesian have highest trilingual population in the world, and our country regularly import foreign pop media, like from Japan, China, Turkiye, French, Argentine, and so on.
That name seems cool and we will never have problem with it.
In fact, a lot of FOSS software in Asia almost always use local language or pop culture reference for their project.
Whether it's in Chinese, Persian, Hindi, Javanese, Japanese, and so on. -

No one is saying you cannot have a good German name. Uber is an American company. Shit company but great name. Comes from German and translates to other linguistic communities fairly well

Which is also reasonably close to the German pronunciation (which is something like Flo-marked to an English speaker)

Like eBay, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon?

The idea would be to host local instances.

über? which you'd spell ueber, if you can't type ü

At least when I used Craigslist, there was no social network element to it, so it was difficult to determine the trustworthiness of any given poster.
For that reason, I don't want a Fediverse clone of Craigslist -- I want an existing Fediverse platform to add a marketplace. I will not use anonymous marketplaces.

Will keep an eye on this, but there is nothing too local here (No, I can't host something myself). Given how the specification says there should be a location and radius per instance, some admins are really slacking on putting that info in the description.
