Title says it all. Unless I’m missing something, I don’t see a way to do anything wiki related at the subs I’ve created.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2959 got closed. From what I gather it seemed like too large of a task to tackle right now. They are recommending to use pinned posts with links to other posts if that gets too large as a workaround.
I think hubziller offers federated wikis.
Edit: added missing word.
Interesting. Thanks.
You’re welcome.
I stumbled upon it myself not so long ago so I don’t have any clue about how it all fits together. But on first sight it looks like a bunch of stuff is already in fedi we just don’t know about it and assume Lemmy/kbim/mastodon is all there is.
Gitea, GitHub and the like allow the owners of a repository to create an associated wiki by selecting a preference check box. You should be able to copy the relevant code from any free/open source implementation. It would be useful for providing Frequently Asked Questions for the community for example.
It would be a nightmare to implement a wiki over activepub, so it would probably need to exist outside of federation.
It also feels like the kind of feature creep that made Reddit unsustainable. Software should do one thing and do it well - Reddit’s reliance on 3rd parties fixing core functionality while they pursued every shiny new thing their product managers and software engineers wanted to put on their CV should be a cautionary tale.
I feel we would be better served with wikis stored outside of Lemmy and simply linked in the description. Lemmy exists on the web and shouldn’t try to pretend it doesn’t like corporate social media.
Something like codeberg, but enhanced so you could do all operations by git would be useful.
