flohmarkt

@Profpatsch showing off Flohmarkt, a federated buy-and-sell market, at #FediForum!

Philip Patsch @Profpatsch will demo #Flohmarkt – federated decentral classified ad software using Activitypub. We will show you can use other fedi platforms (e.g. mastodon) to interact with small ads and talk to the seller via DMs.

Next week at https://fediforum.org

Welcome to #flohmarkt https://kleinanzeigen.bonn.digital/

I've just added you to our wiki for known instances.

…and the first few flohmarkt items have just been replicated using Proposal- and Intent-objects from @silverpill 's FEP 0837 in my lab

@frank #Fediverse has #Flohmarkt as a replacement for marketplace.

I am by the way amazed that #wikidata has "hug" as a well-defined entity. So even if you want to use hugs as your currency, you can do that in full compliance to the semantic system :) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q328703

today an important cornerstone towards implementing FEP-0837 in #flohmarkt has been finished: i overhauled the backend of the currency system. Each currency now relies on a single global identifier in the form of an URL. We hope for most of these to be URLs to #wikidata entities in the future but of course we did not compromise the ability to have free-form currencies. When a user creates a free-form currency, there will be a URL for that instance.

You can now use a fediverse profile URL anywhere you need to refer to a fedi account, in addition to a handle on #flohmarkt

Tested with #Mastodon, #Akkoma, #Pixelfed, #Peertube

I’ve just created a PR to allow arbitrary Unicode usernames in #flohmarkt, in a safe fashion: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/pulls/921

given https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/8417 I assume this might make @Edent happy :)

😍 thanks to @RosaCtrl the Spanish translation of #flohmarkt is quickly approaching 100%!!
