As the #Fediverse continues to grow, people are looking to build new experiences that change what's possible on the network today. #Flohmarkt is a nascent project intended for selling personal items, and may be the first attempt of its kind here. https://wedistribute.org/2024/08/flohmarkt-federated-market/

We want to start actively promoting #Nostr events on our site. These include game jams, hackathons, art collabs, unconferences, live listens, and webinars. We're currently looking at using an events calendar on our site, with the goal of integrating it with the greater Social Web. This includes ActivityPub, Bluesky, and Nostr. If you're an event organizer, and would like to have something included on our calendar, give us a shout!
