Would be very cool if it actually had basic functionality, like searching for items that are actually near me and not 3045390 miles way…
By default Flohmarkt recommends to set a location and only federate with instances in a certain geographic distance. So if you only see far away ads, then you are either using the wrong instance or the instance is misconfigured.
This sounds nice - when i’m done with getting my life back in order i’m gonna start selfhosting for real, and this goes onto the “to implement”-pile! (i just realized that the pile is getting pretty large)
Don’t do a large pile.
When you get to it, start with the smallest possible thingy thats easy and fun and be proud of yourself for doing that.
Don’t even think about the pile or the mere thought of it’s existence will demotivate you from ever starting.
(ask me how I know)
