But it's growing more and more in my memory so its getting easier to remember how to type out the word. Flohmarkt is german for flea market. How about another foreign word adopted into the English language like sauerkraut.

I mean if I was presented with 579 instances in an attempt to join Lemmy I would be scared too. I want to be lead through the dark with one choice. I started off with Lemmy.world but when I saw those .ca lemmings I knew that was my home. I think that’s how most people pick a favourite. Though it is fun navigating the catalogue after you’re in the know. Did you know we had a Bulgarian instance called feddit.bg? I only found it through Lemmy explorer.

Flohmarkt is much simpler to pick through, you have 2 uk choices and 1 European one. But I would think an instance that’s well talked about talked about in the region would be the most successful. I remember using Mercado when I lived in Costa Rica that was our EBay hehe.

    I have wondered about region specific instances running Flohmarkt alongside their main service. Ideally this would be smaller than countries but I suspect we'll need to go country wide to start off until we get the numbers up.
