About
Ibis is a federated encyclopedia which uses the ActivityPub protocol, just like Mastodon or Lemmy. Users can read and edit articles seamlessly across different instances. Federation ensures that articles get mirrored across many servers, and can be read even if the original instance goes down. The software is written in Rust and uses the cutting-edge Leptos framework based on Webassembly. Ibis is fully open source under the AGPL license, to make future enshittification impossible.
Do you want to start a wiki for a TV series, a videogame, about politics, religion or scientific research? Then Ibis is for you! Setup an instance on your server, it only requires a single binary with PostgreSQL and Nginx. Then you can start editing on the topic of your choice, and connect to other Ibis instances for different topics. Within your own instance you are king, and can decide which articles, which edits and which federation connections are allowed. For more details read the Usage_Instructions
