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.

        flea market

        I don’t know how, but i kinda imagined it even though i don’t speak a word of German (nor i am an English native speaker). It just… uh, sounds like it.

        I just realized the Swedish slang for flea market would work a charm. Loppis. It even sounds like a hip app. Someone quick make it an open fedi platform before the capitalists take it!

        Edit: It’s short for loppmarknad. Loppa = flea. Marknad = market.

          Loppis sounds way better than Flohmarkt, and I say that as a german native speaker.

      That is the German name for flea markets. It’s when people sell old stuff they don’t want or need anymore in their garden/some square/the street.

      Guess the creators are Germans…
