I absolutely love wiki walking through random obscure fan wikis, but I hate how most are on Fandom.

I think a federated wiki solution makes sense. I could see it as an evolution of the interwiki concept.

Thanks for linking my project. Im happy to answer questions about it. Also here you can find the git repo.

[-] early_riser@lemmy.radio 7 points 2 weeks ago

This looks interesting.

Seems like it's still early days yet, but are there plans to add things like namespaces and categories?

[-] nutomic@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago

For now my focus is to make it federate with Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse. But you're welcome to open an issue for that kind of feature.

[-] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 5 points 2 weeks ago

This looks very awesome. So it also functions as a redundant wiki?

Wikipedia should use it. Then others can create their own wikis, which keep a version of articles of Wikipedia.

[-] nutomic@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

Its similar to Lemmy in many ways, so like Lemmy posts are redundantly mirrored across instances, the same is true for Ibis articles.

Getting Wikipedia federated would be great, but it will take a long time for Ibis to be ready for that scale.

Can ibis import a full Wikipedia backup?

[-] MxRemy@piefed.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

It wouod be amazing to see Ibis take off and pick up more developers

[-] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

This is the answer.

Seems like there is a federated solution for everything lol

There's also a list of ActivityPub software on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub#Software_using_ActivityPub

Nah... Missing IMHO:

  • Strava like
  • IMDB like
  • stackoverflow like
  • google maps review like
[-] poesty@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Strava like: FitTrackee and Endurain are planning to implement ActivityPub so yah there's gonna to be one IMDB like: NeoDB and LibRate Not sure about the rest

[-] lgsp@feddit.it 1 points 1 week ago

thank you! I will keep an eye on those

[-] naught101@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Also:

  • gift economy/trading platform (e.g. like freecycle)
  • buying/selling (e.g. like ebay)
  • local community/bioregionalism networks (e.g. what nextdoor should be)

These seem kind of ideal for a federated network, IMO.

I actually think Lemmy would be a pretty decent format for something stackoverflow like - just maybe needs to UI tweaks to minimise the visual space that replies take up, plus maybe answered post flair

There's https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt for a marketplace.

I'm really missing something like https://yrpri.org/domain/3
