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.

@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.)

Would have preferred a federated wiki in Lemmy, but still cool.
