I use FB because my family is on their.

My feed is almost entirely not my family, but “suggested” posts, and it made me realize I really hope something becomes popular to replace FB next and my family moves there.

What type of site do you hope becomes popular on the fediverse next?

    I really want to see federated wiki system, just because of how awful Fandom is and the independent wikis are all super spread out.

      Ditto. And this could work really well when coupled with Lemmy, as wikis often have a comments section, that Lemmy could provide them.

        I would like to see a day where most websites, instead of having a “share to Twitter/Reddit” button, have a “Discuss this on our Lemmy community” button instead.

      I really hate how interwiki navigation sucks on Fandom. Like, they’ve done all this branding and centralizing of the Fandom platform, yet I’m pretty sure they only fairly recently started logging you in on all wikis whenever you signed in on one.

      Its all just to try and be some hip pop culture thing for use to “consoom” without any effort to actually take advantage of being a central platform for the repository of lore from across culture.

        So imagine if you can sign in to one of the independent wiki and can edit/comment/link to copy on all federated pages.

        So there doesn’t need to be a Nintendo wiki, but a federation of Zelda/Mario/Kirby etc.

        (Yes I know Nintendo Independent Wiki Association is a thing, but it’ll be easier on them if they have software level federation.)

          this would be cool, but I could see it causing issues for places like Memory Alpha, which have a really strict and well-defined manual of style and acceptable references. I frequently see things on other wikis that you’d never see on Wookiepedia, Tardis Data Core, and/or Memory Alpha, like fanart embedded in articles, links to YouTube videos, incomplete drafts without proper tagging, etc.

          EDIT: Conversely I could really see it benefiting the smaller wikis, especially ones with lots of overlap with each other (all the various Marvel/DC wikis, the specific Clone Wars wiki separate from the main Star Wars one, etc)
