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.

Reading the article before posting?

Believe it or not, straight to jail.

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.

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.

It's quite obvious from the context
