Comment on My list of services I still miss in the fediverse

I want:

Federated anime lists software - BookWyrm could be repurposed for this
Torrent trackers - private trackers might be able to work by having each user have a ratio depending on their instance, tracker instances opting in to being viewable by other instances as a whole and/or users individually
Booru-style image boards
a Neopets clone

For my final wish, I want a Tiktok clone. I don’t really know if this could work while maintaining any level of user privacy, as what makes Tiktok work so well is the sheer amount of personal user data they keep, from watch times to likes to reposts to shares to even knowing what videos you leave the platform on. I think a fediverse-style Tiktok clone would only be accepted if it only relied on likes and reposts for personal algorithms.

Ah yeah a federated wiki with instances for various topics. One focused on tech others on video games, … Like a decentralized Fandom.

  YES.
  
  Fandom used to be good before it dropped community HTML customization… Now each wiki looks the same and not really good. The functionality has also been nerfed.

    Yeah I see your point.It was more the idea of different communities having their own wiki which could be hosted on topic or regional specific instances.

    I know. I occasionally read the italian Uncyclopedia, and they were also pissed by this. They then switched to being hosted on Miraheze.

Not sure how a (de)federated Wiki would look like.

Partially defederated comment sections of Lemmy posts can be pretty confusing. Users coming from different instances can see entirely different comment / reply structures.

I’m not sure if that would be a problem with a Wiki, but it’s certainly something to think through before starting.

Another point: Why? Who gains what if a Wiki is federated? What problem does that solve?
