I got a Wiki at Reddit to list my works and external links. What would be the correct way of doing that within Lemmy?

https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/wiki/authors/crass_spektakel/

I also saw user-wikis under something like the following but I have no idea how to create these neither in Reddit or Lemmy.

https://www.reddit.com/u/example/wiki/

The easiest way would be to just create a Lemmy Community c/crass_spektakel but that feels a bit boastful.

Is is possible to give users within a Lemmy Community a Wiki or share a Wiki between several people?

No such thing currently exists within Lemmy. It isn't a big deal to make a new community and do whatever you want with it. Or if all you want is a single post you could make a wiki community and set it to moderators only posting and then curate posts yourself as requested.

There is currently no /c/wiki community so it is free for the taking.

A wiki feature would be great

I bet there are services you can use to host a wiki, after that you can add a link to the description of the community. Seems a reasonable workaround, it will be quite confusing for a bit until enough people do it that a straightforward approach is adopted by most servers.

Check static website generators: https://jamstack.org/

For hosting: GitHub pages, Codeberg pages, Netlify, Cloudflare pages...

Git-based wikis are the best IMHO.

Right now, the only method is to use a specific community for this, use sticky posts, or use an external tool.
