Flohmarkt - a Fediverse replacement for Facebook Marketplace (codeberg.org)

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

Got it, let's name it in mandarin then

Language	Native Speakers	Total Speakers	Sources
English	~380 million	~1.5 billion	Wikipedia
German	~76–95 million	~155–220 million	Wikipedia
Mandarin	~941 million–1.12 billion	~1.1–1.3 billion	Wikipedia

Well, it has 10x more speakers than German, but it still has fewer speakers than English and most of them are localised in a single country.

Please stop being an obnoxious ass. English is the de-facto lingua franca of the world, acting like German is in any way comparable is just disingenuous.

I love that you called it the lingua franca.

Why yes, English is the French.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Uh do you not know what "lingua franca" means or are you making a joke?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The latter. Though given the downvotes, I think people are either not smart enough to get it, or too smart and think I don't get it.

You just said what everyone thinks when they hear 'lingua franca' for the first time.
