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

The name has already made this nonviable for the average person

I can't understand why every other fediverse name is so stupid as to be off putting to the average user.

Lemmy is no better or worse than Reddit
Pixelfeed is significantly better than Instagram
Mastodon is much worse than Twitter

Seems to me pretty much an even spread of how good the names are

For other Fediverse software:

Misskey is unmistakable which already makes it a good name
PeerTube is on par with YouTube and is perfectly transparent as a description of software: "YouTube but with P2P"
Writefreely is another clear but already proper name, definitely better than Medium or Substack (ony Medium's advantage - it sounds better in non-English languages)
Loops and Friendica remind better of their purposes than TikTok/Vine and Facebook
... on the other hand, every Threadiverse app, no matter if it is /kbin, Mbin, Lemmy or PieFed, fails with it
