Flohmarkt - a Fediverse replacement for Facebook Marketplace

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
-
Germans speak or not as ör out. When you us imitate want, then make it pleasly right!

God... remember how fucking simple craigslist was when it hit it's peak? The fact that Grandpa could take a shaky flip phone picture and post a thing you needed right around the corner, no fat or other frivolous horseshit...
Craigslist is still simple last I checked, but the user base left and now dominated by spam from retail and drop shippers masquerading as local people selling goods from their garage.
Nothing gold can stay

Uber isn't a German word tho?
-
Which is also reasonably close to the German pronunciation (which is something like Flo-marked to an English speaker)

Idk. It's still got some uses. My dad got a bunch of industrial refrigerator panels for stupid cheap off Craigslist like 6 months ago.

Like eBay, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon?

The idea would be to host local instances.

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.

Isn’t this more like the software you’d use to build whatever local (but maybe federated) site? Like, you don’t ask your friend if they’ve been on Shopify or Squarespace lately.

If you feel any kind of meaningful trustworthiness from a Facebook profile, you've probably got some other things to worry about...

Yeah, you can still get something from the odd crank, but used to be much more practically useful for day to day needs.
