Is there a federated fandom wiki alternative? (lemmy.zip)

Always hated the ads and thought it would make sense for different fandoms to have their own instances.

Fandom wikis are pretty exclusive to their fandom tho, like they don’t have much overlap with each other?

We have the Wikipedia founder to blame for that: he threw a Trumpy fit because people were documenting Buffy the Vampire Slayer, IIRC. Otherwise we could really have had an Encyclopaedia of Everything.

Still, hosting "different instances" is technically exactly the same as hosting a normal DokuWIki / MediaWiki software and offering the service on a farm setup, like eg.: Miraheze does, and that still doesn't need any sort of "federation". Federating contents of a wiki does not really make sense, basic and normal mirroring / archiving suffices.
