I wish lemmy had a wiki section
Reddit's wiki section was such a treasure trove for getting started in a new hobby. I still cannot believe they got rid of that feature.
They got RID of it??? Between this and threatening to block Google, it's like they're TRYING to kill traffic to the site.
Can you elaborate, how that would work ?
Indeed could be good to keep longer-term ideas, rather than just reaction to news.
Just a regular wiki style section on each community
Could be good, might need also a talk page, 'rules' (effort for mods) ...? I suppose not too much demand on servers if just plain text, but how does this federate? For example, if I read a slrpnk wiki from sopuli, does sopuli have to pick up every edit, or only if I visit a page, or do i need an account on slrpnk to use it ?
My imagination is that the wiki is hosted on the instance that also hosts the news/posts. It is one page per topic, a basic Markdown/HTML document. Probably an existing wiki-software could be used. I imagine you have to be logged in to do edits, and also there is a public change-history. Maybe a mod would have to approve of the changes first. If you visit the wiki as a reader, a copy of the page has to be sent. It would be lightweight on traffic though, since text is typically lightweight. I must suggest such a feature immediately on my home instance. Thank you
