Missing project?

Why is there no fediverse project forma online sales (like eBay)?

I get that involving payment adds a layer of complexity, bit it shouldn’t be that hard? And with the rising rates of older platforms it feels like a missed opportunity

it shouldn’t be that hard?

OP, what’s your background to make you think that way, and if you’re qualified enough to make that assessment, why aren’t you getting to work building the ground floor of something potentially highly lucrative?

The response to “It shouldn’t be that hard” for FOSS is invariably “PRs welcome”.

Are you maybe looking for flohmarkt?

The name flohmarkt is a german word and translates to flea market or garage sale in english. This is a symbol for each flohmarkt being meant to be a small place for a somehow connected group of people. All the flohmarkts willing to federate make up one big place for small advertisements about exchange of goods and services.

Excellent! Exactly what I was looking for, but it’s not on the fediverse website? Did I miss it?

There's exciting work planned for updating this site!

Neat, are you involved in activitypub.rocks? What sort of updates can we look forward to?

@m_f@discuss.online not directly, but there was a session at FediForum on Thursday that discussed the website and next steps for updating it. It's been stagnant for quite awhile but @evan@cosocial.ca and @j12t@j12t.social finally have write access to the repo and control of the domain.
