So by server.
There is no online classifieds I know of that work like that.

So what do you call this?

There aren’t servers in each of those locations.
Its a designated region for users to make use of. User based, not server based.

What? That is 100% exactly like Flohmarkt works with server specific locations.

It seems like on CL the city labels are mostly for human readable convenience and behind the scenes it’s by distance. You can set a distance from any point:

This is correct.
You used to have to go by city/metro area only, but now you can do it by search area. That said, you can alter your metro area or search radius at any point.

All the ones I know work like that here in Europe, except ebay.

Craigslist, freecycle, Facebook market, offerup - they all go by user region, not server region.

I literally linked you the Craigslist FAQ above that shows that they have server specific locations, just like Flohmarkt.
