Flohmarkt - a Fediverse replacement for Facebook Marketplace
-
Pole here.
A federated MediaMarkt. Or at least something with shopping, selling something. Definitely a German product. Should be a quality one, but I would name my instance (or a national one) differently, perhaps in a local language.
There is no point in making worldwide Flohmarkt instances (same for Mobilizon), so, the naming should be less a problem than you expect
-
For other Fediverse software:
- Misskey is unmistakable which already makes it a good name
- PeerTube is on par with YouTube and is perfectly transparent as a description of software: "YouTube but with P2P"
- Writefreely is another clear but already proper name, definitely better than Medium or Substack (ony Medium's advantage - it sounds better in non-English languages)
- Loops and Friendica remind better of their purposes than TikTok/Vine and Facebook
- ... on the other hand, every Threadiverse app, no matter if it is /kbin, Mbin, Lemmy or PieFed, fails with it

What a horrible language.
-
-
UK instance please!
-
But now that FB is overrun by AI bots and real users leave, there won't be many mutual friends left very soon....
-
Already added it
-
Many people, including some in the thread!
-
AFAIK not. Feel free to develop one!
-
The thing is that since all content is federated, each government would have to ask every single instance worldwide for user data. Seems unenforceable.
-
It is well known that only names which are in the devinely decreed English language are acceptable on the internet

What if you could log in with your Mastodon (or other) Fediverse account, and they would too, so you could see their user history and connections? (And they could see yours)
-
I like just "Floh", even if it does just mean "flea" in German.
-
That would be cool!
-
That wouldn’t really solve it though. The problem is not a man in the middle attack. It’s someone scamming you. They can do it, then generate another signature, repeat, etc.
-
What I want is an eBay alternative. Like old school eBay, with basic (non obscured) reputation system, auction options, stuff like that.

Running Numbat on my server and couchdb is being a real pain in the butt
apparently there's no support for Numbat yet. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.
