Fediverse

Ibis is a federated encyclopedia with numerous features. If you want to start a wiki for a TV series, a videogame, or an open source project then Ibis is for you! You can register on an existing instance or install it on your own server. Then you can start editing on the topic of your choice, and connect to other Ibis instances for different topics. Federation ensures that articles get mirrored across many servers, and can be read even if the original instance goes down. Ibis is written in Rust and Webassembly, fully open source to make enshittification impossible.

After a long hiatus here is finally a new release of Ibis. The user interface received some polishing, and can now be translated to different languages. You can help with translations via Weblate.

If you already have an account and want to fill it with more articles, use the new Wikipedia import! You can import individual articles by Url on the "Create Post" page. Or write a bulk import script with curl https://ibis.example/api/v1/article/import -d 'url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet' -H 'Cookie: auth=my_auth_cookie'.
