Here is the outcome from the brief chat I had here.

This is not finished - not in categories, not in organisation, not in communities, but I'm getting exhausted currently. Many communities on here are old, dead, tired. Some are new. Many categories are barren, some are overfilled and need more segmentation. I'm just sharing what I've built as I think this could be very helpful to community advertisement and exploration.

I'd like anyone who runs or knows of communities to let me know here, so I can add them.

My thinking was that Lemmy instances could have their own Ibis instance that would include a page for each community named “c/community”.

While I doubt Fediverse wikis will replace Wikipedia, it can definitely take on wikis/fandom but, as mentioned, it can also act as the kind of wikis subs have. So you might have:

"c/community/faqs" "c/community/archive" "c/community/tutorials" "c/community/resources" "c/community/recommendations"

Depending on their needs - meme communities might not need much, while computing, privacy, etc might want quite a few to add in useful information and links that might otherwise get buried.
