Flohmarkt is still a really young platform, but it shows promise as a way for people to create listings, and reach out to one another.

As the Fediverse continues to grow, people are looking to build new experiences that change what’s possible on the network today.

Flohmarkt is a nascent project intended for selling personal items, and may be the first attempt of its kind here.

    I am interested and I like this.

    However, I don’t really get it. The site linked just seems like a feed of all products.

    Is there a way to see caregories based on people marking up their items?

    Is there an ActivityPub spec around these?

      That is the German name for flea markets. It’s when people sell old stuff they don’t want or need anymore in their garden/some square/the street.

      Guess the creators are Germans…

        flea market

        I don’t know how, but i kinda imagined it even though i don’t speak a word of German (nor i am an English native speaker). It just… uh, sounds like it.

        I just realized the Swedish slang for flea market would work a charm. Loppis. It even sounds like a hip app. Someone quick make it an open fedi platform before the capitalists take it!

        Edit: It’s short for loppmarknad. Loppa = flea. Marknad = market.

          Loppis sounds way better than Flohmarkt, and I say that as a german native speaker.
