you know I never used that but it always seemed like a useful idea, kudos to you

did people swap anything with countries outside the https://lemmygrad.ml/c/alwaysthesamemap area?

It was fun at its high point. The problem was like you said, always the same map. Shipping costs run like $20-150+ and that's a month's wage in many of the countries that have interesting snacks we aren't already over-saturated with. Scams were only ever like 5% of trades at most and we never had a poisoning though, so overall a successful prototype of the thing that would work.
