Federated wiki software? (lemmy.radio)

I absolutely love wiki walking through random obscure fan wikis, but I hate how most are on Fandom.

I think a federated wiki solution makes sense. I could see it as an evolution of the interwiki concept.

Yeah, that could definitely be cool.

Cost would be a big factor ... Fandom got big by being free and eventually replaced (or heavily customized) mediawiki to the point it's unrecognizable.

Hosting a wiki isn't that expensive it's basically texts and some lightweight pictures. The whole english wikipedia is around 109GB of data.

That doesn’t include images. Images are stored on wikimedia commons, which is about 600 TB.

Well, with Kiwix I was able to download the whole english wikipedia with mid-res pictures on my 128GB USB Drive. I think the 600TB you're talking about includes videos and high-res pictures.
