This community is intended as a place for discussion regarding building digital communities and spaces.

I Don't See Anything
Remember, federation for small/new communities is finicky and this is a project targeting a small audience. Federation will eventually improve as the project advances.

Well, I got laid off, so my priorities have shifted drastically. Otherwise, there were a few issues to getting going. At the time that I had started, there were some pretty major federation issues among servers running on different versions of Lemmy that remained unfixed until relatively recently. The other major barrier was the lack of a good solution for information hosting (in my mind this niche is best served by wikis), but there have been some recent developments in that area. Notably, SLRPNK now has a wiki and Ibis, a new federated wiki solution, has appeared. Before this, I had been working on a Lemmy bot that would more or less jam wiki functionality into the existing Lemmy frontend, but now I think I am probably better off using one of the previously mentioned solutions. My work situation may change soon, in which case, I will pick this project back up. Alternatively, if someone else wanted to be a major contributor, a split work load would probably also allow me to pick this back up.
