  • 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.



  • 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 [email protected] 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 [email protected]), 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 There are a few sites that went up with the first Rexxit but they are no longer maintained and it would be better done in a wiki.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 @[email protected] 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).


  • As one studio after another began clamoring to pay Sinners’s $90 million-ish asking price, the director’s agents at WME notified them of a few strings attached. Coogler would retain final cut (a creative dispensation reserved for the industry’s crème de la crème), command first-dollar gross (that is, a percentage of box-office revenue beginning from the movie’s theatrical opening rather than waiting for the studio to turn a profit), and, most contentiously, 25 years after its release, ownership of Sinners would revert to the director.

    And they say it like this is A Bad Thing, creators should have more control over the things they make - Hollywood shafting people just makes everything worse. The studios are still going to make plenty of money.


  • Yeah, I’ve cut out added sugar apart from special occasions but I’d still pick up something for family or friends (Malteaster bunnies or white chocolate and raspberry eggs have been popular in the past) but I haven’t seen anything that didn’t look like a standard chocolate brand trying a rip-off egg with underwhelming contents. I might look a bit harder tomorrow but I can’t see myself getting anything this year.

    What I have noticed is an attempt to sell seasonal tatt as they do at Halloween and Christmas - I’ve even seen “Easter bunny please stop here” signs and lawn decorations that seem an increasing trend.
