Combining Fediverse and Wiki’s In follow-up to discussion with Mike Hales, @bashrc and @bhaugen as well as Exploring semantic knowledge base solutions - Fediverse Futures - SocialHub some thoughts / brainstorm of what a wiki-like semantic knowledge base might offer that’d add value that existing tools don’t have. Just brainstorming and trying to stay away from the technical parts. Let’s imagine a federated app based on new concepts. called Semmy … What Semmy offers is a: Social Knowledge F...
Yes, they are indeed different application types, but show interesting things that could be combined in future apps.
The SocialHub where this post’s link is pointing to is having issues for the past week. It is currently down. It has another topic, also posted to Lemmy here: Howto facilitate the fediverse for its own development?. I imagine both SkoHub-like and Lemmy-like functionality can be used to bring dispersed activities and knowledge closer together while keeping things decentralized at the same time.
“Community” is a very important concept. Lemmy implements it as groups with membership, but if you look in real life it goes further than that. There are all kinds of meaningful associations / relationships between groups and people. For a long time I’m advocating to create a more native concept of Community on the fediverse, so that we move away from this low-infrastructure kind of network (where we have to tell ‘tech noobs’ about instances and federation and such). In “Community has no Boundary” there’s a meme of some guy explaining fedi to a girl on a party.
