A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
Interesting project and good luck on this.
Did you not consider something like Codeberg to host this? Many open source devs do not trust MS or their stewardship of Github, and considering the aim of this project is against American control of information, surely this really needs serious consideration.
Many open source devs do not want to use Github at all now.
I think this could be useful for a project I have where school that are not connected to the internet could create their own wikis, however, I need to see how it develops.
One of the main devs of Lemmy (@nutomic) just announced a federated wiki project called Ibis
@nutomic This is a cool idea! But I have a lot of questions about how the heck you make a think like Wikipedia work in a federated way. Are articles duplicated on each instance, or do we lose some of them when an instance goes down? How does moderation work? How do I search it?
Also, I see someone else posting screenshots, but the link you posted takes me out of my Mastodon app to a Lemmy page where I don't see any links to Ibis itself.
(Saw some criticism of the name there. Ibis is an awesome & appropriate name, IMO.)
Why not just build a wikipedia mirror?
All the data is available for free via download, torrent, etc.
Idk I have no complaints about wikipedia to lead me to look for a federated alternative.
That looks like big news. Exciting! 🎉
Oooh this is cool
