Yep, they do a nice job of wiki integration. We definitely want something similar with Ibis.

My thinking was that Lemmy instances could have their own Ibis instance that would include a page for each community named “c/community”.

While I doubt Fediverse wikis will replace Wikipedia, it can definitely take on wikis/fandom but, as mentioned, it can also act as the kind of wikis subs have. So you might have:

“c/community/faqs” “c/community/archive” “c/community/tutorials” “c/community/resources” “c/community/recommendations”

Depending on their needs - meme communities might not need much, while computing, privacy, etc might want quite a few to add in useful information and links that might otherwise get buried.

ibis.wiki/threadiverse_privacy

So top level might be:

ibis.wiki/threadiverse_categories

Under which you might have:

• [[threadiverse_technology]]
• [[threadiverse_media]]

The latter then might contain:

• [[threadiverse_books]]
• [[threadiverse_films]]
• [[threadiverse_television]]
• [[threadiverse_comics]]

Then the last one would include:

• [[c/comic_books@wiki.lemmy.world]]
• [[c/comicbooks@wiki.lemm.ee]]
• [[c/britishcomics@wiki.feddit.uk]]

Very impressive.

This is not finished - not in categories, not in organisation, not in communities, but I’m getting exhausted currently.

It must be collaborative or you’ll burn yourself out.

I wonder if it can be done on !ibis@lemmy.ml and then that information gets pulled through to another site where it could be used for filtering. And/or, as Ibis now federates with Lemmy (see !wiki@test.ibis.wiki), it would just appear on here anyway and you could search “political communities” and it would bring up the relevant wiki page inside Lemmy.

This also fits with what I was pondering on Threadiverse community alternatives to subs. There are a few sites that went up with the first Rexxit but they are no longer maintained and it would be better done in a wiki.

My thinking was that Lemmy instances could have their own Ibis instance that would include a page for each community named “c/community”. So we’d have:

wiki.feddit.uk/c/privacy

And elsewhere you’d have:

wiki.lemmy.world/c/privacy wiki.lemmy.ml/c/privacy

And these could then be linked in from both:

ibis.wiki/sub_alternatives ibis.wiki/threadiverse_privacy

Nail down your naming structure early on and it should go smoothly, with wikis being flexible enough to allow changes to be made if we needed to tweak things.

It is one of the reasons why I asked @nutomic@lemmy.ml about being able to log into Iris with your Lemmy account, because you could closely integrate Lemmy and Ibis, especially now it federates (no point in having two accounts).

@Cris_Color@lemmy.world being nice helps establish the “tone”, but I’m not sure that wouldn’t change with another “API event” on Reddit that results in another, larger mass migration.

The way I see it - the early adopters set the tone of a place and new arrivals are more likely to adopt that approach. So it is important to be kind now, so people will be kind later.

Report it - people jumping straight to insults are trying to shut discussion down which really isn’t acceptable.

Yeah, let’s show them! … how to be decent human beings by example.

Here is a discussion on Tumblr equivalents.

Sorry, English is not my first language, bit I thought the post is somewhat clear?

English is my first language and it was clear to me.

I already mentioned that there are edge cases. Edge cases do not discredit foundational frameworks that define reality.

But when you are trying to define or classify things it is the edge cases that are key. It is at the edges that we hope to find a clear divide between one set of things and another.

Unfortunately, with sex chromosomes, their impact on development and that effect on performance it feels like the more we know the less we understand.

International sporting bodies have huge resources and access to the best experts in the various fields and they can’t come up with a good way to classify male and female. I could, at least, see the logic in their going for testosterone exposure during puberty as being a useful guide, although it is complex and rather arbitrary, but there are counter-arguments to that which suggest it isn’t useful. So the sporting bodies seem to be falling back on chromosome testing, which is no guide at all to performance and seems to be favoured because it is easy to test for - like the drunk looking for his keys under a lamppost because the light was better there.

Can confirm. When we took over the running of feddit.uk migrating the images took forever as it was around 300GB.

I made a list of them.

Perhaps Friendica because it plays nicely with following groups (Threadiverse) and profiles (most of everything else).

You might be able to self-host WordPress if it is just a matter of importing. As WP is federated, you can, presumably cross-post it from there.

You might want to spin up your own PieFed instance. There is someone using that service for a similar art project - they are grouping images into similar sets and displaying them like an image board. You can pin certain images and/or change the default sorting.

Reddit is worse, it is utterly indifferent to us. We’re just the skulls getting crushed under the treads of Skynet’s tank.

That was a clear sign it was a hit piece.
