As this project appears to be fairly unknown in the fediverse still, I'd like to use this opportunity to advertise Flohmarkt. This Fediverse equivalent of Facebook Marketplace already has some instances up and running - see here: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki/flohmarkt-instances

So you only trade with people in your web of trust? That’s not feasible. People flock to these websites to trade with strangers. You don’t need a middleman to trade with people you already trust.

Friend of friend networks, that's how classmates have benefits created ( a prototype to "prove" 6 connections theory )

#flohmarkt is a tool to publish content in the form of a small ad / classified ad: on other fediverse services it scrolls by in the timeline. On a flohmarkt site it sticks in its place like a slip of paper containing a note on some bulletin board.

People can offer or search for services or goods. The federation radius irl across different flohmarkts can be limited by a distance setting.

Primary goal is to help people meet and exchange services, goods, opinions.
