Flohmarkt - a Fediverse replacement for Facebook Marketplace

What a horrible name.

I just set up a Slovenian instance, flohmarkt.gregtech.eu

Edit: which range should I use for it, which one do you recommend?

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

What about Craigslist

as always with these, it really comes down to whos using it.

The name has already made this nonviable for the average person

I am super curious how does it stack against DAC7 European Directive 2021/514 from 22 march 2021.

The European law says that such sites must provide a list of users and sales

Great idea. I just wonder how Flohmarkt is read by non-Germans. Anyone want to state their opinion, their initial experience seeing the word, on that?

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?

That name...

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.

This is what i need so i can finally delete facebook but unfortunately this is too early and small with nothing piblically uk based and no one looking at it so things would never sell.

How do I tell someone on the bus to check out this website?

Maybe someone may want to put links to Flohmarkt instances on Craigslist or FB Marketplace to put more eyes on it?

Really interesting! can't wait to see how it progresses along.

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

This looks cool! Any android apps?

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.

any of them US?

Interesting idea. How do you deal with illegal trade?

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.

What localities does this operate in so far?
