Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative
Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative
You're viewing a single thread.
@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.
@nutomic Looks like you already addressed the federation questions elsewhere in the conversation.
