Lovely idea but what is that name

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…

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!

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

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

It’s quite obvious from the context

There have already been projects like that in the cryptocurrency space.

Yeah, I’m aware. I think the Nostr space in particular is doing a really great job, and has some good ideas on how to make it work.
Why this development is significant, though, is that it’s happening in ActivityPub space. It’s not as robust, and doesn’t have all the answers. But, the existence of such a project means that people within the space are already thinking about how to make this concept viable for the Fediverse.

Very interesting, I made a local community !kiwiclassifieds@no.lastname.nz a year or so ago but have done nothing with it

I don’t think the “decentralize and federate everything” strategy is a good idea when it comes to online marketplaces.
We’ve seen how quickly bad actors can wreak havoc on the Fediverse like that one time when Lemmy Shitpost was closed for weeks due to people spamming the community with CSAM. Imagine how much you open the community up to scams or criminal activity when money gets involved.

I mean if there’s a time to test it out, it’s right now I would argue.
Lemmy is still small enough to test those things.

It will probably split and congregate around instances focusing on heavy moderation and KYC vs crypto-focused free-for-all ones if they ever gain traction.

I believe money shouldn’t be involved.
Just match sellers and buyers together and let them figure the terms and transaction out themselves.
All that is needed is a way to find what you want and a solid system of building trusted profiles with ratings and such.
Not a simple task, but keep the money out and it will all be easier.

All that is needed is a way to find what you want and a solid system of building trusted profiles with ratings and such.
Wouldn’t the second part require a trusted means to verify that a given profile actually sold you the promised thing, as well as some trusted means (two-party signing, maybe) to announce that a payment actually took place?

Flohmarkt? Seems simple enough.

I would love for this to become successful! I am assuming it’s not in any great state yet, but the decentralized future is waiting for us !
