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.

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 creating new instances of their own and 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.
