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?

      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.

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

        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.
