Hi, I’m fairly new to the fediverse. Is there any alternatives for Facebook marketplace out there?
Unfortunately not. I think some areas have hashtags for that kind of stuff and someone is working on a new platform, but it’s not there yet.
Awesome, It will be interesting to see what it develops into!
marketplace is one of the last things holding me back from jumping off that platform I think.
Hi, I’ve recently read here on Lemmy an article stating that an extension of the ActivityPub protocol to support facebook marketplace’s like transaction is being considered, but I don’t have any more detail
That’s exciting to know. Thanks for sharing!
What country are you in? They have Gumtree in the UK and Australia. My gumtree feedback page is one of my lifes proudest achievements.
That sounds like a cool app. I’m in the USA

Kijiji is pretty popular in Canada. Varagesale is another one I’ve seen.
Not Lemmy but try NextDoor app. I have sold a lot on there in the last few years.
Nextdoor is ok for selling. But the social part is an absolute shithole of insane people.
Yes! It is a dumpster fire of a consortium but sometimes it is ok for finding local resources, like a plumber for example, but some crazies can be ever-present.
Love the idea, but ripe for abuse, also the critical mass of muggles using it to be worthwhile.
But, we can dream!
I’m definitely going to keep dreaming then because I think we can do it better.
Gumtree for australia.
