Flohmarkt is a Fediverse Marketplace

Flohmarkt is still a really young platform, but it shows promise as a way for people to create listings, and reach out to one another.

Flohmarkt is a Fediverse Marketplace

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.

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.
- 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.
- 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?
