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.

Lol, must be created by a german. Flohmarkt literally means a private marketplace. Directly translated to english its a “Fleamarket”.
I love this.
A federated ebay\vinted\amazon alternative sounds like a great idea, but I saw this on their repository.
A flohmarkt can manually federate with other flohmarkts in its range
If I’m reading this correctly, there’s no automatic federation between instances, which will make item discovery difficult.
Yeah, I’ll try to look into this for clarity. It really depends on what they mean here - I think they’re referring to curated server following between admins, which is what PeerTube does.
When I tested out the messaging system, I was able to federate back and forth with Mastodon. Maybe it works fine at a user level, it’s just the search entries that don’t get federated automatically?
So is there a link to a live instance?
edit: link to live instance https://rollenspiel.trade/#all
This is so cool.
Yeah, very nice. It will be tough to bootstrap since you need a critical mass of people who ideally live close together so that it’s cheap and quick enough to deliver the items in question.
I’ll give it a try. Nothing to loose.
this is really interesting, and I’d love to see it more developped and polished! Will check it out often to see progress!
