Following @[email protected]’s announcement (here: https://lemmy.zip/post/11580990) I’ve spun up a test version of the new Wiki at wiki.lemmy.zip.
Community mods - if you fancy making a wiki for your community, now is your chance!
Its really very barebones at the moment, with no account management and very few tools, so please don’t use the same password as you do here and please be mindful that, while I do daily backups, data on this site has a high probability of being lost.
That said, if you have 5 minutes please check it out, create a small article about something you care about, that sort of thing.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Cheers,
Demigodrick
Ibis has only really been around a couple of weeks and is brand new by one of the Lemmy devs, so this is really a test to see how it functions and how easy it is to use.
One of the benefits is censorship resistance and also downtime resistance. If your favourite community has a wiki and suddenly that wiki goes offline, all the other instances will have a copy of that wiki, much like a lemmy community, so that information isn’t suddenly lost forever.
Ah, that makes sense. I guess I’m just a Wikipedia fan. I appreciate the fact that you are trying to create new services. Keep up the good work!
