In context of the post for a Amazon boycott I remembered this list with Amazon-Alternativen on codeberg .

I have some suggested additions for the Netherlands. Not sure if they would be warranted, but I'll share them anyway

General:

Computers:

Electronics:

Clothes:

Groceries:

Drugs and cosmetics:

Bikes:

Do It Yourself:

Office:

Furniture:

Second hand marketplace:

There is probably a lot I am forgetting. I'll keep adding to the list as I think of different places

Great list, for second hand you can also add Vinted (they have more than just clothes)

Keep them coming :-)

We'll figure out where to put them afterwards. The linked list was collected in a community effort on mastodon.

I'll keep thinking on it while I'm getting some breakfast.

I'm not quite sure what the best way to host such a list would be.
Maybe we could have one place with resources for all European countries?

I don't know your technical background and this is not ment to be condescending:

Technical people tend to use github/gitlab or codeberg to make a plain list of things base on git version control, so changes are tracked. These lists are often introduced with the prefix awesome (e.g. awesome-hosting, awesome-lemmy, ...). Even when the community participates, curating these lists takes a lot of time.

I'm thinking of it more from a usability perspective. Im not sure if dozens of forked repositories would make it easy for the average person to find information

Having a single link to a repo with information for everyone could be very useful

Edit: Or alternatively a meta repository that links through to the individual national repositories?

Well, for the end user, if the markdown is simple well structured, it could be parsed to deployed to a website.

Or you could use any static page or documentation generator.

Well, the suggested list is specifically German speaking.

Maybe there is a fork for the Netherlands and if not, it could be started on your initative?
