Wow, apparently there is now a classifieds sales platform for the Fediverse called Flohmarkt ("flea market"). You can find out more at:

➡️ https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt

...and especially its wiki page at:

➡️ https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki

The wiki contains a list of existing servers, compatibility with other Fediverse platforms like Mastodon, and instructions for installation.

No official account yet but you can follow the lead developer at:

➡️ @grindhold

@FediTips
Would love to see an Australian flohmarkt sever. I should check to see if tellhimhesdreamin.social is available.

Concept: An app that trolls your social media feed for links to videos and complies them into a playlist. (with the ability to set restrictions to exclude videos that are over/under various lengths.)

Concept2: A 'widget' box on mastodon's web app where part-time developers could put features such as the above. And a panel with an easy way to add widgets for nonprogrammer end users.

I would love something that just plays all the music that gets posted in my home feed.

Which animal makes more melodramatic overwrought, "I've been killed and murdered... twice!" crying sounds over minor things like wanting food or getting cleaned?

Whippet whose blankie is not tucked in perfectly properly has entered the chat, whining veeeery quietly that she is mere seconds from succumbing to the icy grasp of death, oh surely Master will take pity on a wretched poor hound, oh but master is too busy with important matters to save his faithful companion, oh weep, weep for his heart is a stone, a stone!

I just ordered a small flat white at my local cafe, noticed the price had gone up, and just found out now taking a sip I’d been misheard and was given a strong flat white.

Just in case anyone wants to know what all those pacing and fidgeting sounds are in about an hour.

If you like following someone but they boost too much stuff, you can mute just their boosts without hiding their ordinary posts:

  1. Log into Mastodon
  2. Go to profile of the person whose boosts you want to hide
  3. Click on ︙or ⋯ at the top and select "Hide boosts from…" (or "Hide reblogs" on some apps)

If you change your mind, go back to their profile and select "Show boosts from…" (or "Show reblogs").

There's lots more info about muting and blocking on Mastodon at https://fedi.tips/blocking-and-muting-on-the-fediverse

@FediTips was going to boost this, but then I thought I'd better just reply to it.

Signs you have carpenter #ants

  • keep finding tiny tools
  • city sends a very tiny permit to affix to baseboard
  • when you try to move a book you are told to “keep this entrance clear, ma’am” because of the “cement delivery coming later”
  • Your dish rack is dismantled “because it’ll be cheaper to rebuild from scratch”
  • no room on the dresser due to like 85 tiny pickups illegally parked there
  • husband keeps hearing high pitched wolf whistles when exiting shower

If they were Australian carpenter ants there would also be a trail of tiny empty ice coffee Big-M bottles left all over the floor.
