Flohmarkt - a Fediverse replacement for Facebook Marketplace (codeberg.org)

As this project appears to be fairly unknown in the fediverse still, I'd like to use this opportunity to advertise Flohmarkt. This Fediverse equivalent of Facebook Marketplace already has some instances up and running - see here: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki/flohmarkt-instances

The name has already made this nonviable for the average person

Uber.

it's not that it's German (or whatever), it's that it looks and feels like it's gibberish. it's incredible how little this is understood.

Uber is an easily read, easily pronounced, widely understood, positive sounding trochee. it's a perfect brand name.

flohmarkt is 0 for 5.
