Every time I post something for sale on Craigslist/Kijiji/FB I get reminded that
this is a use case we should be able to handle. We could also offer a non-profit
alternative for wider audiences instead of generating revenue for Meta. It could
also serve as another channel for new users to our Fediverse, people not
necessarily interested in social media alternatives. The American corporate
services won’t be getting any better over time so an alternative is likely to be
needed. This [https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt] project seems to be
implementing a federated marketplace. If a Fedecaner finds themselves with even
more time to donate than they already have and a similar desire, maybe that
could be the next service to standup. :D Thoughts?
We’re discussing a federated Craigslist/Kijiji/FB Marketplace alternative in /c/main. @Rentlar@lemmy.ca has kindly expressed willingness to setup a Flohmarkt instance if their comment reaches 100 upvotes by Sunday. Help motivate them by upvoting the linked comment!
