Flohmarkt - a Fediverse replacement for Facebook Marketplace

[snapz@lemmy.world]

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

[snapz@lemmy.world]

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

german looks notoriously complicated for people who dont speak it

[umbrella@lemmy.ml]

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

[nyamlae@lemmy.world]

I don't agree? Even in big cities, I've often seen marketplace posts from people with mutual friends, so I could easily verify their trustworthiness. In other scenarios I can at least check to see if their posting history and/or profile seems legit or if there are any red flags. Having more data helps people decide whether to trust someone, but Craigslist doesn't allow for that.

Etymology
From German über (“above”, preposition), which is also used as a prefix (über-); cognate with over. Entered English through Nietzsche's use of the word Übermensch. Doublet of over, super and hyper.

[trickdacy@lemmy.world]

Yeah, possibly. Depends -- if the data is federated between instances (which I assumed) you could have access to the whole world's market and it would still be useful if there was a feature that allowed you filter out locations you're not currently interested in.

[pyre@lemmy.world]

what some people don't get is that "flea market" is also a bad name. floh just makes it look and sound worse and it's harder to parse let alone understand and therefore remember.

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?

[happydoors@lemm.ee]

It honestly just looks like a spelling mistake to me

[womble@lemmy.world]

• Lemmy is no better or worse than Reddit
• Pixelfeed is significantly better than Instagram
• Mastodon is much worse than Twitter

Seems to me pretty much an even spread of how good the names are

[maniclucky@lemmy.world]

The sentence structure is kinda wonky coming from English, but the vocab isn't bad. There are tons of cognates.

[pumpkinseedoil@mander.xyz]

That's what you should do anyway, the h simply elongates the o

[lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org]

"gStore" sounds... suspicious. XD

[darkdarkhouse@lemmy.sdf.org]

Yeah, would also be nice to be able to combine multiple local markets.

[emmie@lemm.ee]

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

[absolutechicagodog@lemm.ee]

What about Craigslist

[star@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

This looks cool! Any android apps?

[yetanotheruser@discuss.tchncs.de]

Right, über is a word. "uber" is very much not. The points aren't decoration or a pronunciation guide, they signify a different letter.

It's like saying that Spanish people call their country Espana.

[sol6_vi@lemmy.world]

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