    It’s a really cool website, but people have shared it basically every other week here already ;)

      Kind of shows we need some kind of wiki for this kind of sites and other basic stuff.

        Doesn’t look like this is coming to Lemmy, see: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2959

        It mentions a work-around with text posts, but those are only editable by the OP, which is not so great for a community wiki.

        It should be possible to link an external Dokuwiki to the Lemmy user-database though and create ACL for groups according to the moderator membership. I have been thinking about setting this up, but right now it seems not really worth the effort, with the side-bar of Lemmy communities being able to hold the basic stuff reasonably well.

          … Edit: you just mentioned Dokuwiki, how did I miss that? If you would like help with the Dokuwiki I’m in.

            I am currently using the Bookstack wiki of the umbrella project for general instance specific documentation. However it does not lend itself well for providing community specific wikis.

            Dokuwiki could be used for that more easily, but I would need to write custom SQL queries to link the accounts to the Lemmy database. This is a bit annoying to do but unless you have access to your own Lemmy database to test this, it is not really something I can get help with.

            However right now I also don’t really see the need for a complex wiki. Basic community details fit in the side-bar text where they are also federated to other instances.

      It’s such a nice website, not surprising many people like it! However, I specifically search for other posts on Solarpunk@slrpnk.net containing this URL and didn’t got any results, thus my post. I probably did the search poorly… Sorry for the repost. ><
