A good wiki needs to have mosly text, a modest amount of pictures, no self-hosted video, and low computing needs.

Huh. That sounds kind of like Lemmy, wonder if someone will try to modify the software to support a wiki.

Looking it up, there is WikiWikiWeb implements Federated Wiki, which Wikipedia describes its primary features as:

adds forking features found in source control systems and other software development tools to wikis. [...]The software allows its users to fork wiki pages, maintaining their own copies. Federation supports what Cunningham has described as "a chorus of voices" where users share content but maintain their individual perspectives. This approach contrasts with the tendency of centralized wikis such as Wikipedia to function as consensus engines.

Gonna look more into Federated Wiki today, because this sounds super interesting to me c:

I don't think a built-in wiki should be a priority for Lemmy. The sysadmin of an instance.com instance can host a separate web app as a standalone wiki at wiki.instance.com.

For example, you could host an mdbook at this subdomain to serve as a docs-style wiki.

Even Reddit has a built-in wiki system. Why not Lemmy too?
