"Sick" as in "slick?" "Good?" (Going to add "clueless oldster" to the description on my BH profile page).

Along the lines of a "Fediverse Amazon", @petrescatraian@libranet.de told me about flohmarkt, which does look interesting. One of its instances can be viewed here.

One note on "sick" being slang for "good": that particular slang started in the 80s, and some of the younger generation consider it to be old person slang.
