Hello fediverse! I’m looking to find out how I can see more locally made products so I can avoid purchasing big corp in the states. I’ve found offer up 5e app, but I’m curious if there is better local marketplace applications similar to Etsy for a small area? I don’t wanna use big tech marketplace and my experience with Craigslist has been less than ideal. If there nothing that exists then I’d love to hear tips on how to find local items as an introvert.

    Depends on your area mostly. Look for local signage based around yard sales, flea markets and farmers markets. Tons of times I’ve found local product makers at one of the three. Facebook marketplace is also a good place to find local businesses.
