Wikipedia is a great place for general knowledge and I don't wanna change that. What I'm looking for is a way to create wiki for a very specific topic, which could be attached to a lemmy community about that topic.
For example having a lemmy community about a certain programming language with a wiki containing documentation about that programming language. This isn't something you'd put into Wikipedia.
In my move over to lemmy I got nostalgic for how some older things were done, what you might be talking about are FAQs for specific topics like we had in the Usenet days. If this interests you, I have a new community started for collecting and creating those kinds of things. Not much there yet but I’ll grow it over time and would love for others to contribute.

If a federated wiki could replace fandom.com I would be so happy. That site is a nightmare of ads on mobile and needs to be replaced.
Ah, I see. Thanks for entertaining my question.
I think my only concern about federating is the ability to de-federate. I like that I don't have to see racism, homophobia, etc. but I'd hate to see any further politicization around "facts", and I worry that federation could lead to different versions of truth.
Probably less of a concern on Go vs. Rust. Cheers!
Yes, I'm thinking more of a place to collect technical documentation / tutorials. No body wants to create a place of "alternative facts" in the fediverse.
