Comment on Hey Lemmy. I hate Facebook. But I miss Marketplace. So I built Garage as a means to reclaim Melb's 2nd hand marketplace from Meta (cause fuck Zuck). It's pretty new but check it out below

Fucking hell yes!

American, so, not gonna be able to participate locally, but yeah, if we could all somehow have an opensource, federated version of craigslist/FB market?

Absolutely yes.

And even if not, still a great project!

Hell yeah! I miss the old Craigslist it shit now and usable. But an open source market place like this one would be damn sweet!

  With something like this… maybe a model where the codenisn open source, but also, somehow, a listing costs a small amount, to help cover server costs, would make sense?
  
  A ‘membership’ regular payment model probably would not work… for anyone other than ‘supersellers’…
  
  Or, maybe, there could be a way to… federate/distribute the server processing itself.
  
  Allow vokunteers to run an process that basicslly serves as a distibuted host.
  
  … hrm…
