The Fediverse is growing and we have decently successful platforms like Lemmy and Mastodon. What else would you like to see?

Any big tech platform not yet replaced or maybe something new altogether? What are we missing?

I believe Flohmarkt is a fediverse alternative.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago

Interesting ... It looks pretty active. A few dozen instances, mainly in Germany. This has real potential.

Would be even better if these things didn't use completely stupid names!! They're not clever, or hip, or even fun. Flohmarkt sounds like I'd be too embarrassed to share what it is.

[–] lemmysir@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is just German for flea market.

[–] unitedwithme@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah I see that now after looking it up. OK that makes more sense. Still not a great alt for North America yet

You can name your flohmarkt instance whatever you want though.

[–] unitedwithme@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

That's good to know, I see is avail on Yunohost, too

[–] dil@piefed.zip 2 points 1 day ago

If it was named something else illogical itd work, like weinerschnitzel selling no schnitzel

Flohmarket is just the name of the software, which as another said, is the German word for flea market. I suspect the creator is German.

Anyone who self-hosts their own flohmarket instance can call their instance whatever they want.

Names are subjective. "Youtube" makes no sense if you discard all the grab that it has now in retrospective. "Craiglist" is even worse.

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

YouTube always made sense because "tube" is old slang for TV.

[–] unitedwithme@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, I guess I'm old enough to remember TVs being referred to a such hah 😅

[–] lambisio@feddit.cl 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

...this is the first time in the entire Fediverse that I feel not-that-old 👀

[–] StellarExtract@lemmy.zip 4 points 23 hours ago

Also known as the "boob tube" with "boob" being a synonym for "idiot". I'm not that old...
