The Hollow Knight wiki community is another in a long line of wiki communities choosing to leave Fandom behind. But why is that? What is it about Fandom that...
I have been preaching abandoning it for YEARS. It’s even worse on mobile because the formating is so messed up some links just don’t work. And even without adblock, there’s so many ads that THEY slow down the site. Just because it’s ‘free’ everyone defaults to fandom and I hate it so much
I loath this site. It’s rarely loads well and the images never load for me. And it’s always so slow. It’s probably because I have an adblocker.
It is slower without the adblocker since it waits for the ads to load if they are not blocked.

I think the Doom community successfully avoided fandom.
What’s to stop someone else from scraping their site and hosting a better one? I’ve never heard of anyone who actually likes Fandom.
Minecraft just moved to an official site recently
Terraria (and also most of the bigger terraria mods) is another big one that moved off of fandom a while ago. Wiki.gg is so much better.
