I keep feeling frustrated as valuable knowledge for my different hobbies over the last years became siloed away in corporate social media. I believe wikis could be a way out, but can we have decentralized, federated wiki software that can kind of talk among each other?

    Sounds cool. Does that mean we need heavy disks full of data everywhere or is there a magicky way around it?

      iirc You “pin” content to access, which means you’re also then hosting it. You wouldn’t need to necessarily store the entirety of wiki for example unless its held in like, data files rather than page per content.

      Im not fully up to scratch of the intricacies on IPFS, just thought it sounded like a possible solution to your use-case
