Hi, I’m fairly new to the fediverse. Is there any alternatives for Facebook marketplace out there?

Craigslist? AFAIK their business model is quite forward thinking.

People still use craigslist? Seems pretty niche at this point, but I could be wrong though. Also, how is their business model forward thinking, how do you mean?

CL is huge in larger metro areas like LA or SF Bay area. I’ve bought and sold many vehicles plus smaller stuff.

No ads and a flat design that hasn’t changed in years. I could be wrong though, I’m not in the US, I just read about it.

Unfortunately not. I think some areas have hashtags for that kind of stuff and someone is working on a new platform, but it’s not there yet.

Awesome, It will be interesting to see what it develops into!

marketplace is one of the last things holding me back from jumping off that platform I think.

What country are you in? They have Gumtree in the UK and Australia. My gumtree feedback page is one of my lifes proudest achievements.
