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.

    The goal is to promote a local market. Not much point to have a marketplace with used items from the other side of the world.

    Although manual curation of the connected instances would also work for a specialist marketplace where you can only find specific types of items.

    I think both use-cases make more sense than general marketplace with mostly irrelevant entries.

      Sure there is a use. That’s eBay. I collect older consoles and games and sometimes it’s the only way to get an item.

        Last time I used eBay it was also country specific.

        And for that usecase a specialised marketplace for retro-gaming that you can actually browse would be much better as well.
