Lol, must be created by a german. Flohmarkt literally means a private marketplace. Directly translated to english its a "Fleamarket".

I was thinking something like this for jobs on the fediverse would be great, then thought it would probably be filled with high paying, highly technical jobs or low paying garbage jobs, or both with no between space. I'd love to be wrong.
A federated ebay\vinted\amazon alternative sounds like a great idea, but I saw this on their repository.
A flohmarkt can manually federate with other flohmarkts in its range
If I'm reading this correctly, there's no automatic federation between instances, which will make item discovery difficult.
The goal is to promote a local market. Not much point to have a marketplace with used items from the other side of the world.
Although manual curation of the connected instances would also work for a specialist marketplace where you can only find specific types of items.
I think both use-cases make more sense than general marketplace with mostly irrelevant entries.
