Post news for your market

You can post news for every market you look after in the organiser portal, once the market is on the public calendar and until its last day.

A market waiting for HobbyLux shows “This market is not in the public calendar yet, so it cannot have posts yet.” A market that is over shows “This market is over.”: new posts open when the next edition is in the calendar.

1. 1Open My markets and tap your market.
2. 2Tap Posts at the top of the market page.
3. 3Pick a “Topic”.
4. 4If you like, add one photo and write “What the photo shows” in a few words.
5. 5Write your text in “Your text” (up to 280 characters) and pick the “Language of your text”.
6. 6Check the preview “Preview · as in the paper” and tap Post now.

• Stands open: makers can still ask for a stand.
• Last stands: only a few places left.
• Hours: opening hours, or a change to them.
• Raffle: a raffle or tombola at the market.
• Music: live music or a show.
• Food and drinks: what visitors can eat and drink.

At once on your market page, under “News from this market”. Then it goes into D'Maartzeitung under Market news: posted before Wednesday 12:00 (Luxembourg time), it is in that Thursday’s edition, else in the next one. The line above Post now tells you the day.

After the market’s last day, the post leaves the market page. In the past editions of D'Maartzeitung it stays until you delete it.

• News about your own market only, with true dates and times.
• Your own photos (or photos you may use).
• No outside links: no web addresses, no email addresses.
• No online selling: no “buy now” or “order”, no payment details. Prices are fine.
• People agree to be shown: ask before you show someone who can be recognised. Never children as the main subject.
• Kind words: no swear words, no hate, nothing indecent, no other people’s personal data.

The full rules are in the terms, section 10.

Visitors can tap “See you there” on your news, without an account, once per browser. You and every visitor see the count. You never see who reacted.

Each new post is checked once by an AI service in the EU (Mistral AI), and visitors can tap Report. Both only ask HobbyLux to look: your post stays live until HobbyLux decides. You never learn who reported it.

1. 1In “My posts”, tap Delete under the post.
2. 2Tap Delete again to confirm, or Keep it.

A deleted post leaves the market page and every edition of D'Maartzeitung at once. You cannot edit a post: delete it and post again.

If a post breaks the house rules, HobbyLux can hide it. It then shows “Hidden by HobbyLux” in “My posts”, with the reason, and is not shown anywhere. Questions? Write to hello@hobbylux.app.

• 3 posts a week for your account, from Monday to Sunday (Luxembourg time), for all your markets together.
• A deleted post still counts for its week.
• Text: up to 280 characters, no links. One photo at most.
• Photos: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB. HEIC photos do not work yet: on an iPhone, set Settings › Camera › Formats › Most Compatible.
