Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

@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.

One of the main devs of Lemmy (@nutomic) just announced a federated wiki project called Ibis

"Instead of individual, centralized websites there will be an interconnected network of encyclopedias. This means the same topic can be treated in completely different ways."

Yay, now we'll have a new wikipedia which will also present russian take on Ukraine invasion, Chinese take on Tianmen massacre and a flat-earthers corner for their "truth". I think internet already covers that..
