@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.)

Yes articles are duplicated in the same way posts are duplicated on Mastodon or Lemmy, so they wont go away. Moderation doesnt exist so far. There is a search field in the sidebar.

The link goes directly to Ibis where I posted the announcement.

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

Is it linked to the ongoing Drama on the french wikipedia ?

How does federation works with with "SEO" ? Wikipedia is always among the top result on search engine, how would peopel find about Ibis ?
