I have been playing around with it, it's not too hard to set up. I'm going to probe how well people might want to leave FB marketplace, and hopefully v 0.6.2 with CAPTCHA anti-spam support will arrive soon.

are the anything with auction system?
No auction. You get a text field to put in a price and that's it.
They're all in German or something...
I looked into it on Yunohost and it said some stuff about "CouchDB" that I did not remotely understand.
You're aware that feddit.org is a German instance, right?
https://fleamarket.neilzone.co.uk/ and https://flohmarkt.modern-industry.com/ are in English

I have an alt on feddit.org, everytime I stumbled upon [email protected] it was quite challenging.

From the OP: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki/flohmarkt-instances
Great idea... Not so sure about the name, though. Hard to spread by word of mouth when you have to spell it out
Depends on your native language.
It's German for flea market
But yeah, I guess in English speaking countries it's a bit hard to say ;-)
Because of the three hard consonants at the end and they all get pronounced? I mean the "Flohma" part shouldn't be an issue... 😆
The point is not that it's difficult to pronounce, but that the correct spelling is difficult to guess from the pronunciation (in English) and therefore the person recommending it in conversation must provide the spelling explicitly, which is annoying and likely to lead to confusion and failure to find the actual site.
Just pronounced like market, without the 'e'
Or like the name Mark with a 't' at the end
Or actually pretty much like 'marked', when you e.g. mark a word
Maybe disregard the first 2 approximations, 'marked' is very much how it's pronounced
Edit: to complete this:
You would say something like 'flow marked' and that would be very very near the correct pronunciation :-)
Edit 2: the h is silent and only says, that the o before is longer. So just like you stretch the o in flow.
The first instance is called fedi.markets
Instances can be named anything. We have sh.itjust.works on Lemmy after all
Ah fair enough
Good opportunity to promote in indeed!
Nice to see the list of instances
