Flohmarkt - a Fediverse replacement for Facebook Marketplace

[state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de]

Please stop these idiotic arguments. I don't think you're actually so dumb, that you don't understand what my point was. So you're being willfully obtuse just to annoy other people. Also, Chinese isn't a thing. You probably mean Mandarin Chinese, which does have the highest number of native speakers. But English is still the common language (or lingua franca) across the world, even though it is number 3 in terms of native speakers.

Maybe share your vision with the devs or actively contribute yourself to the development of this platform?

iMarket is better?
gStore?
銷 !

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.

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

[nasi_goreng@lemmy.zip]

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.

[nasi_goreng@lemmy.zip]

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

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

[itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Uber isn't a German word tho?

[itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

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

[corkyskog@sh.itjust.works]

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.

[itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Like eBay, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon?

[temperche@discuss.tchncs.de]

The idea would be to host local instances.

[darkdarkhouse@lemmy.sdf.org]

Something, something über alles...

[itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

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

[nyamlae@lemmy.world]

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.

[tudsamfa@lemmy.world]

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.

[darkdarkhouse@lemmy.sdf.org]

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.
