A fix for mobile has been submitted: https://github.com/Nutomic/ibis/pull/22
I'm still 50/50 on federation too, will have to see how it works out as it gets developed. Nutomic has said there will be none-federated mode which we could always switch to when implemented.
I'm just imagining the wiki being filled with political extremes or something similar that originates from somewhere else.
I personally don't really see the point of ibis and it seems like not the greatest software for the Job. With that being said, it I don't know the much about alternatives. In the free software community I mod someone suggested Media Wiki https://mediawiki.org. MediaWiki is what powers Wikipedia so it should be familiar. We might need to work on support for sign in via Lemmy.
Edit: Its media wiki not Media goblin.
Ibis has only really been around a couple of weeks and is brand new by one of the Lemmy devs, so this is really a test to see how it functions and how easy it is to use.
One of the benefits is censorship resistance and also downtime resistance. If your favourite community has a wiki and suddenly that wiki goes offline, all the other instances will have a copy of that wiki, much like a lemmy community, so that information isn't suddenly lost forever.
Ah, that makes sense. I guess I'm just a Wikipedia fan. I appreciate the fact that you are trying to create new services. Keep up the good work!
